There's also an addition about a change in direction there:

We, Eileen and Wes Rehberg, are longtime activists and artists with credentials in investigative work that documents social, economic and political situations and their effects on people. Through Wild Clearing, our work.

Both of us have Ph.D.s, Eileen in social policy analysis and management from Cornell University and Wes in philosophy, interpretation and culture from the State University of New York at Binghamton.

Eileen’s work includes Geographic Information System analysis (GIS). She now works as Senior Policy Analyst and Director of Data Analysis at the Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies in Chattanooga, TN, and as well teaches part-time at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Eileen also has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fine arts and art history from SUNY-Binghamton and is a painter.

Wes was an enterprise journalist during a 22-year newspaper career and is a retired (and recovering) United Methodist pastor. He also has a master of divinity degree from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, concentration in liberation theology. As well, he studied two years at UCLA’s graduate film school, and a semester at Pratt Institute. He is now a media and arts activist and film artist.

Our activism work has taken us to Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Chiapas and central Mexico, Cuba, Palestine and Israel, Vieques in Puerto Rico, and throughout the USA, in addition to trips to the Netherlands, France, Spain and Morroco.

AFTER "THE EXPOSED," IT WILL BE 'FINIS' FOR DOCUMENTARY FEATURES ...

This is a reflection on direction for me, and for our documentary film work. Cost has been a factor but so has been reception to what we've been up to, both related. Realistically, we just eke by with this and can't sustain more debt for these media-activist productions. Sales don't make up for expenses and festival reception has been low, both indicators of how well what we're doing is received. With all this in mind, "The Exposed" will be our last production of this kind.

STILL ... We've reworked our site to include a new category, "Tone Poems and Found Objects," on the theme of Between the Ice Ages, with several film sketches ... links to these are found at wildclearing.com/mother-forest/index.html ...
