This video documents the imaginative exploration of fifteen six-year-olds on a journey in Highland Park, East New York, Brooklyn. Each group, dressed in its own shade of orange clothing, discovers a mysterious seed sculpture/house hidden in the woods. The children spontaneously explore this object and play amongst themselves, creating meaning for the box and their relationship to it. The children's voices provide a meditative narration that runs throughout the video, allowing viewers to get inside the children's minds as they go together on a poetic adventure.

Intimately and exuberantly, AUGUST TO JUNE is a voice for values we are on the brink of losing in the single-minded pursuit of higher test scores for our students!

The film follows 26 8-10 year-olds as they write poems, raise chickens, resolve differences, and find their own voices. With humor and poignancy AUGUST TO JUNE reveals some of the complexity involved in a meaningful education, and gently asks audiences to stop and consider how we achieve the goal of curious and creative adults able to support a democratic society.
