Field Guide is hosted by Dr. Cristina Allen, a true renaissance woman, with the ability to mix the knowledge of disparate spheres into a new whole, guided by subculture and her upbrining with Chinese Medicine, drawing on her background as bass player in punk bands, chef, activist, forager, and artist.

Field Guide is an authentic and holistic look at the state of human kind and our Planet at the face of climate change, from the perspective of individuals that create an exciting outlook for a sustainable future.

Culture after all is fluid. All around the world, people are starting to transition to a more sustainable way of life. Shifting the cultural context from a disconnection from Nature to a holistic system, celebrating our reciprocal relationship with Nature.

In each episode, Dr. Cristina Allen connects with seekers around the world, experts in their field, to share their stories as only they can, uncovering their personal perspectives on health and the beauty of Earth amongst the complexities of our modern society.

Each episode reveals the unique lifestyles that each seeker forges for themselves; how they find wellness amongst societal issues, and the influences that shape them. Their hero’s journey, expressed as an intimate celebration of rich characters.

They are the obsessive, masters, freaks, geeks, legends, leaders, underdogs, outsiders, and dreamers. The path they have chosen can be isolating and gruelling, but also intoxicating, inspirational, and even transcendental, entertaining and educationg the audience on how to apply these ideas in their own life.

Each episode will be a visually stunning portrait, stylized, cinematic and grand, yet maintaining a documentary intimacy and emotionally based storytelling.

Creating an authentic observation, to live somewhere between Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown and David Attenborough’s Planet Earth: cinematic images of character and nature driven by a mix of interactions, interviews and its fresh soundtrack.

Through the beauty of feature films, combined with a fluid documentary storytelling style, Field Guide will capture Dr. Cristina’s wanderlust, curiosity, and punk-rock conscience to inspire, through her boundless appetite for other people’s stories, as she passionately listens, learns, and participates.

Health is the harmonious integration of the body, mind and spirit with Nature.

Being in alignment with Nature allows us to heal.

Dr. Cristina created Field Guide to shares stories and wisdom of life lived according to the rhythms of Nature.

“All living systems have an innate self-organizing and healing processes, which inevitably brings us all together to allow us all to thrive.”
