How’s Inky?

What if you could take a step back in time and see one of Sam Campbell’s films and hear one of his lectures or go visit his island home?

We are working with Sam’s old films, as well as interviews and current footage, to produce a documentary film entitled Philosopher of the Forest: The Sam Campbell story.

Our Sister Site — Sam Campbell is dedicated to the life and works of Samuel Arthur Campbell, author, film maker, lecturer, photographer and philosopher.
Please stop by for a visit & learn more about Sam Campbell
