Season V: Brittany App, water activist and filmmaker, "Where There Once Was Water," Carrizo Plain, CA

Brittany App is a photographer and the filmmaker behind the upcoming film “Where There Once Was Water,” a feature-length documentary that shows the effects of water scarcity in California, and helps people heal its water cycle. Brittany has traveled all over the world on photography gigs, and her experiences in foreign countries inspired her to think more critically about water in her home state. From her new home on the Carrizo Plain in deep eastern San Luis Obispo County, she shares about her own water-saving methods, the way she is now in solidarity with those across the world who carry water to their home, and about the process of designing a film with conviction and hope in equal measure.
