Visionary Edge: Films to Inform, Inspire & Empower

Sneak Preview Screening of EARTHWORK: Winner of 23 Best Film awards on the festival circuit, Earthwork is the true story of real-life crop artist Stan Herd played by 2011 Oscar nominee and Spirit Award Winner for "Winter's Bone" John Hawkes. In 1994, Stan traveled from Kansas to New York City and risked everything to create a massive environmental artwork on land owned by Donald Trump. The multi-acre piece was made from soil, rock, plants and vegetation near an underground railway tunnel. Over the months it took to complete the earthwork, Stan dealt with the difficulties of bringing his unique, rural art form to an urban canvas and the many costs exacted upon his life. In an effort to show his unique perspective to a larger audience, Stan unexpectedly encountered the true meaning of his art and it's ultimate, lasting rewards.
