Community Documentary
DriftTV
DriftTV is an ongoing documentary project that captures everyday life, work, and moments of meaning across the Driftless Region. Each story follows people or events over time, using an observational, unscripted, or process-driven approach.
​
Some DriftTV stories focus on preserving local culture and community life. Others explore how environmental, economic, and social forces shape everyday experiences. These stories are offered at no cost to document cultural, social, and ecological significance. This is a community-funded series, and the stories remain editorially independent.

Sharing real people’s stories and local knowledge to help explain the world around us.

About
Earthship Media
Earthship Media was founded by documentary filmmaker Jeremy Bork. His work combines technical skill with community-based storytelling focused on real life.Each film is made with care, honesty, and respect, and guided by ethical storytelling and editorial independence. Earthship Media works with individuals, communities, and mission-driven organizations to document local culture and explore how global forces can shape everyday life.

Digital & Media Literacy
Creator Ecology
Creator Ecology is an educational project that helps people, organizations, and communities understand how media is made, shared, and understood online. It examines how global digital platforms and tools shape how we communicate, learn, and tell stories. The goal of Creator Ecology is to support transparent, honest, and responsible communication by building digital and media literacy around the media people create and consume every day.
​
Commissioned Projects
This is how we currently fund no-cost Creator Ecology education and DriftTV projects that help capture culturally significant information to document the lives of people and places. Earthship Media works with individuals, organizations, and mission-driven groups to create documentary films and short videos. These commissioned projects can be fully commissioned for client ownership or developed together with Earthship Media for public release.
