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.
