The Radius Project is an interactive guide that helps neighbors explore imaginative thinkers whose accomplishments enrich and educate their neighborhood:

  • Our hyperlocal films show how imagination and innovation stimulate healthier communities through empathy, environmentalism, and mutual aid.

  • We engage PTAs, schools, civic groups, environmental advocates, and arts orgs to nominate inspiring local achievements, then make a short doc film about their story.

  • Each film is screened in community centers, libraries, and schools within a one-mile radius of its subject, followed by a facilitated Q&A.

Singer Pete Seeger said in one of our interviews: “It is the little things in life that transform the quality and potential of our societies.”     

                                                                                                                                       

These public events bring neighbors together for intergenerational talks and local tours that celebrate the impact of free expression, environmentalism, and the giving spirit.

The Radius Project engages a one-mile radius of a community as a microcosm for exploring local knowledge as a think tank for future visionaries.
