Edgelands

directed by Ben Weaver, Edgelands is a land and water based film series applying “relationship” as a method of storytelling. Through regional packraft and bicycle journeys within the Mississippi River watershed within a 100 mile radius of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area, Edgelands will explore the stories, histories, and relationships of the people who live here.

SUPPORT MY WORK THROUGH PATREON

Group-Ride_Ben_Weaver.jpg

I seek to foster a deeper sense of community by working to constantly expand the possibilities for who my work can engage with. It is important to me to offer my concerts/engagements free to the public as often as possible. I work in alternative spaces and seek partnerships with organizations whose visions align with my work. My deepest, and most meaningful connections are with individuals, which is why I am here. The songs and poems I write/perform work to dispel illusions of division. They hold open space for the wisdom that sits within the trees, rivers, rocks, plants and animals to reignite the inherent stories of wildness and mutuality living inside us all.
