Bear Brook Productions Presents:
a Peace of Forest
A quiet wildlife movie, filmed in Maine
“Open your eyes to Mother Nature….she will open your heart.”
Within 70 acres of Maine forest lies a world rarely traversed by humans. This is not a wilderness. There are no grand vistas. This ordinary terrain is unremarkable at first glance. Yet its subdued riches provide crucial habitat for a vast wealth of plants and animals that are often overlooked.
Each day in this secretive forest is a pulse, a rhythm; it is a world born of dynamic wonders; a masterwork of simplistic beauty and peace.
“Nature speaks without words, but to hear its voice we must listen, look, and ponder.”
A Peace of Forest is a compelling, feature-length film, celebrating the beauty and intimacy of wildlife in Maine. This one-of-a-kind cinematic adventure showcases surprising, tender and exquisite interactions of wildlife during peaceful moments in Maine’s natural world. An original story filled with inspiration, the audience will be engaged in a fresh, entertaining and informative manner as they observe common and uncommon wildlife and the fragile balance between nature and human culture.

Expand your world by viewing a Peace of Forest, experiencing and benefitting from the miracles nature affords us every day, awakening a peace within your heart and desire to protect our precious earth, its resources and all life, human and wild.
Experience the power nature provides to nurture ourselves in order to help slow the pace, settle nerves, soothe worries, and stimulate energy.
A Peace of Forest has the intention of inspiring a movement towards an informed society where:
- We recognize the importance of protecting all species, human and wild, for the welfare of all species.
- We learn to see, feel, hear, experience and appreciate the peaceful beauty nature provides.
- We acknowledge that we are not the only species making a living on Earth.
- We understand the fragile balance between nature and human culture.
- We experience nature’s transformative power and recognize that not only do all lives matter, but all LIFE matters. Every insect, fish, mammal, bird, tree, moss, grass, flower, etc.; all LIFE has a purpose – all LIFE matters.
- We realize that progress is not always building the newest, most high-tech building, equipment, or device. Sometimes progress means preserving those things that do not need improvement, such as nature, wildlife and the Earth itself.
- We become re-acquainted and aware of nature’s power to comfort, relieve stress and slow our pace.
- Our collective wisdom, and capacity to be visionaries, contributes to the protection of land, clean air, clean water, each other, wildlife, natural beauty and Earth, the home we share with all species.
- We support connection and compassion as the foundations of a healthy environment.
- We create more hope, peace, love and understanding by mankind towards all life on Earth.
- We strive to help every person experience more peace, more hope, and more of nature’s restorative benefits.
- We are the generation that saves the Earth, rather than the generation that destroys Earth.
- We recognize the protection of our environment through wildlife and land preservation, along with visionary and innovative initiatives, must be a high priority if any species, human or wild, is to survive.
