Co-founder and Executive Director of HUDSY, Laura Kandel, came by to discuss a year-long film project inspired by the 250th anniversary of the United States. Rather than focusing on the US’s complicated history, this project celebrates what makes our communities strong today.

"Through 250 short documentary videos, we will highlight acts of service, creativity, healing, justice, and connection happening across the Hudson Valley, creating a living mosaic of local impact.

We want to highlight YOUR acts of positive change! Selected acts will be filmed as part of this project, with additional short interviews recorded throughout the region. Fill out the form below to recommend yourself and be notified of our filming locations to join us and tell us about your act of positive change; or to recommend someone else and help us identify individuals, groups, or organizations making a positive difference so we can shine a light on them."
