Most of Hannah’s recent film work has focused on social change through digital storytelling. This includes working across Alaska on various collaborative projects including,  The Choose Respect anti-bullying media campaign,

a communications tool kit that has been distributed to schools and prevention programs across Alaska.

 

Additional work includes a digital storytelling project with  The Island Institute where students from from  remote villages across Alaska  captured stories about their experiences with climate change.

​

Currently Hannah Guggenheim is the filmmaker for THRIVING COMMUNITIES, an initiative of the WHIIDBEY INSTITUTE.  This program, is a call to action; telling stories in collaboration with people and processes that celebrate communities as they grow. With a deep focus on the root structures of humanity, our lens is focused on the needs of any human, including stories about resilience highlighting food, water, shelter, art, health and wellness.
