A visit to the Hawthorne Valley Biodynamic Farm in Ghent, New York, and a trip down to the Inwood Farmer's Market in upper Manhattan illuminate the inextricable link between rural and urban Hudson Valley.
Austin collaborated closely with producers Susan Arterian and Julian McKinley of the nonprofit Capital Institute's storytelling project, "The Field Guide to a Regenerative Economy." Their goal was to illustrate the interdependence of New York's city and rural communities, while at the same time to cinematically contrast the tranquil beauty of the Hudson Valley's agricultural landscapes and Inwood's urban energy.
