“KISS the GROUND: for SCHOOLS” Available to Schools and Teachers for Free Beginning January 28Th NEWS RELEASE “KISS THE GROUND: FOR SCHOOLS” Available to Schools and Teachers for Free Beginning January 28th 1/26/2021 Narrated by Woody Harrelson, the Grade 6-12 Version of the Critically Acclaimed Eco-Doc with Free Classroom Curricula by National Science Teaching Association Coming for Earth Month in Apri l LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Acclaimed directors Josh Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell (Oscar® short list for “Fuel,” Ocial Selection Cannes Film Festival for “The Big Fix”) will release KISS THE GROUND: FOR SCHOOLS, a 45-minute-long educational version of their latest critically lauded eco-documentary, KISS THE GROUND. Beginning January 21st, the new version is free to all schools, students, teachers, and community educators via KissTheGroundMovie.com. KISS THE GROUND: FOR SCHOOLS has new scenes not in the feature lm including a series of person-on-street interviews with Rosario Dawson and a scene in which Tony Tenngers, a Lakota Elder, describes the importance of the once-prevalent bualo for Native American peoples. KISS THE GROUND: FOR SCHOOLS is also available with subtitles in 18 languages including English Closed Captions, Spanish, Mandarin, and Hindi. To ensure the success of this unprecedented educational release, Big Picture Ranch has partnered with ro*co lms, a leading distributor of documentary lms with proven expertise within the academic market. “As a mission-driven documentary distribution company, we are honored to play a role in bringing this powerful lm and resource to all schools, without the nancial barriers that too-often limit what students get to experience in the classroom,” said Annie Roney, founder and CEO of ro*co lms. 1 “KISS THE GROUND: FOR SCHOOLS” AVAILABLE TO SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS FOR FREE In addition, the lm has partnered BEGINNING JANUARY 28th. (Photo: Business Wire) with the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) to bring free, NGSS-aligned science lesson plans and student activity sheets to educators and students nationwide. The new, classroom-ready materials will explore regeneration topics and will be available in late March, in time for Earth Month, taking place in April. Educators interested in receiving the materials can pre-register at nsta.org/kisstheground. A DVD version, which includes both the 45-minute education cut and the original 84-minunte version, is also available free to schools at KissTheGroundMovie.com. In addition, the lmmakers have partnered with the National Science Teaching Association, which is creating and distributing follow-up curriculum to be released for free on Earth Day, April 22nd. “Rebecca and I are proud to present this new version of ‘Kiss The Ground’ for free and make it widely available online to 114,000 U.S. schools and to over 35 million students nationally and millions more internationally,” said Josh Tickell. “One of the key messages in our lm is today’s youth are the best positioned leaders to implement the practices of regeneration and climate change reversal.” “’Kiss the Ground: For Schools’ represents a watershed moment for our country’s educational system,” said Rebecca Tickell. “This is the rst time that climate change reversal through regeneration and drawdown will be taught in classrooms – both online and in person. The new version of the lm for schools and the forthcoming curricula will provide powerful new tools to students everywhere.” The winner of over 40 U.S. and international lm festival prizes, KISS THE GROUND is narrated by Woody Harrelson and unveils a game-changer: We can reverse global warming and the Earth’s soil is the solution. By regenerating earth, we can completely and rapidly stabilize our planet’s climate, restore lost ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies. With epic footage shot on ve continents, striking visuals from NASA and NOAA, and stunning animation, the documentary conveys this critical message through the voices of leading scientists, ecologists, and experts including Nobel Laureates in climate, members of the International Panel on Climate Change, top scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), as well as environmental activists such as Gisele Bündchen, Tom Brady, Jason Mraz, Ian Somerhalder, Patricia Arquette, and Rosario Dawson. As an urgent call to action in addressing the world’s climate crisis, KISS THE GROUND artfully illustrates an accessible, relatively simple solution to humanity’s greatest challenge. Originally intended for a world premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival followed by a theatrical release, KISS THE GROUND is currently playing on Netix and Vimeo on Demand. “INSPIRES A RARE FEELING OF HOPE” – The New York Times “DIRECTORS JOSH TICKELL AND REBECCA TICKELL GIVE YOU A GLIMPSE OF HOPE DURING A DARK TIME.” – Los 2 Angeles Times “A POWERFUL SOLUTION TO THE GROWING EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE” – Civil Eats KISSTHEGROUNDMOVIE.COM Trailer: YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook Instagram: @kissthegroundmovie Facebook: facebook.com/kissthegroundmovie Twitter: @kissthegroundoc Instagram: @kissthegroundmovie Facebook: facebook.com/rebeccatickell, facebook.com/ecodude (for Josh Tickell) Instagram: @joshtickell, @beccatickell NSTA.ORG/KISSTHEGROUND ABOUT BIG PICTURE RANCH Nested in the Los Padres National Forest in Ojai, California sits Big Picture Ranch – an organic avocado farm which also operates 24/7 as a soup-to-nuts lm studio.

Remembering “Prancer” Director, Star Look Back on Christmas Classic Amid Its 25th Anniversary by Andrew Tallackson “Usually, when you see your movies again, you see the mistakes, but not this time,” Hancock said, relaxing in his Galena Township home. “When you see it with a live au- dience, none of that matters. This was maybe one of the best screenings I’ve had.” Sam Elliott stands in front of the Old Republic House in New Carlisle during production on John Hancock’s “Prancer.” hen people meet John Hancock, one of the fi rst things he hears is that “Prancer” is one of their favorite movies. They’ve grown up with it. They watch it every Christmas. Its story of courage, de- termination and hope has lost none of its power. WUpon hearing this, the director is fl attered. Until earlier this month, though, he’d not seen the movie on the big screen, and with a full audience, since it was released 25 years ago.
