Pierre Terre Productions is an independent media company producing webcast and broadcast video stories of wisdom, value, intelligence and good intent.

We are a voice of the powerful intentions for good that live in the hearts of people everywhere. We hear voices of wisdom and vision, from both the famous and the ordinary. We share the voices of young people, bursting to share what they care about. We film the incredible projects everyone would emulate - if they only knew. We webcast the inventions of mind, body and spirit all around us, that make us say yes! - we can do it!  

Far more than just 'feel good' stories, Pierre's stories bring the good to light and the heroic to our doorsteps. The incredible becomes the possible. 

These are the territory of Pierre: the land we had forgotten, the places where the seeds of a better world are growing now - all of them crying out to be shared with all. These are the places you will find Pierre, and where Pierre Terre Productions will build an audience. 

How will we do this? By webcast, we will tie people to the network of the incredible. Hip music where it works, on location because it's real, simple production, so we can produce more. In the world, so we know each other, beauty in cinematography, so everyone remembers. Few actors, so the voices of people speak first.  

Email us, comment, post, and share our work wherever YOU think it will help. Send us your videos to webcast! 

My best wishes to you all, 

PIERRE

Kevin Hansen - Biographical Summary

Selected Media/Performance Experience:

 

Kevin Hansen is an videographer, environmentalist, businessman, public speaker and inventor. He is an organizer of positive environmental action by seeking environmental restoration through responsible business development. His knowledge and commitment to the environment come from personal experience.

As a child, Kevin lived in Santa Barbara, California during the after effects of the major oil spills and wildfires of the 1960s. He was a participant in the first Earth Day in 1970 at age ten (he still has the cloth poster he made for that first Earth Day!). He won back-to-back National Science Foundation scholarships for environmental research in Alaska at ages 18 and 19.

He graduated with Cum Laude honors (ranked first in his major) with BS and MS degrees emphasizing environmental geophysics and hydrogeology. Professionally, for the past 21 years Kevin has worked as a senior manager on environmental and resource development projects throughout the U.S. and internationally.

Kevin's experience has included water supply development in arid Southwestern Taiwan, Brownfields urban redevelopment projects, Green design projects, pollution remediation across Mexico, and natural resource protection projects in 17 states and 6 countries.

Kevin's work has brought him in contact with some of the top scientists researching global change, and with the leaders of industry dealing with the day-to-day issues of running a profitable company. At the same time, he has been a Green activist working with grassroots environmentalists and social change advocates in the Philadelphia region.

He is a designer of advanced technological solutions to environmental problems. With one patent already awarded (U.S. Patent #5,262,065), he is a proponent of the effective use of technology to communicate difficult or complex subjects to a mainstream audience to achieve this, often using advanced GIS, 3D visualization, Website and database development tools.

He is a frequent communicator about the environment and responsible business. His public speaking (including the occasional television spot) about environmental problems includes Universities, industries, municipalities, community groups, and legislators.  Working with community activists, business people, government officials and industry - both nationally and internationally - have given him a unique perspective on what people care about: the mainstream human desire for a better planet and the reality of living in the real world (where protecting the planet is only one of many cares).

Using language designed to communicate to a diverse mainstream audience, he speaks to what is present in everyone: that people care deeply about environmental quality. Kevin is an unabashed promoter of the wisdom and the concern for the environment he has found in people everywhere. He works to bring this insight and enthusiasm to the cause of environmental sustainability.

His new book (in press soon) is entitled: Pulse of the Planet: The Emerging Framework of Global Sustainability.
