Focusing on detail

Studio Garret is a production company dedicated to exploring the art of living that people have developed in nature and in their spiritual cultures. We record them using a variety of media including video, text, and graphics.

Connecting the dots

There is a myriad of interconnections between all things in the universe, including those between ourselves and the earth we live on.
Our efforts to understand the whole natural world that surrounds us will lead us to a better understanding of the universe and its structure.
We need such an attitude so that we can understand our place in the world based on the long history of the universe and so that we can learn a better way to live in the future.

Humans are just a part of nature

We make it our aim to visit people who share similar ideas and live humbly. After we see and hear everything about their lives, we transmit what we have learned to the next generation.
