At New Water ReSources, we challenge conventional thinking about water. Through exhibits, media, and behind-the-scenes project development and management, we gently invite people to change their mental models, so that they see new connections and start thinking about and using water differently.

We focus on Product/Process Visualization for marketing, training, and speaker support.  We don’t shoot video, make web pages, or animate robots fighting to the death; we focus on creating visualizations that communicate the uniqueness and often difficult-to-explain features of products and processes.

GlobalEyes Productions produces TV-programs, documentaries and commissioned films on social, human and environmental issues. We produce for broadcasters, corporations, NGO’s and governments.

People are always at the centre of each film. Our style is critical, but with a positive image of individual people and the world. Our films are not about processes, systems or procedures but about the impact they have on people in countries, situations or corporations. We shoot on, under and above the ground from the grassroots and on the work floor. We’ve worked on all continents in boardrooms, palaces, homes, fields, cities and slums.
