My interview with Richard Louv

It was an honor to finally meet the author of Last Child in the Woods and The Nature Principle. At the time of our interview I had already been working on Nature Kids for two years. Nearly everyone I had met during the production of Nature Kids was in someway inspired by the work of this man. What would he be like? What would he say? Needless to say, I was a little taken by surprise when he began our interview by telling me his name was Tom Waits and that he sings songs for a living! As it turned out, it would not be his last joke of the afternoon. The most pleasant surprise of the interview was that 99% of Rich's answers were things I had never heard him say before. Having seen him interviewed so many times previously I didn't expect to hear anything new. I am excited to say that Nature Kids will include some 100% original Richard Louv content... and I don't just mean the Tom Waits joke. Below is a short clip from my interview with Rich. You will be able to see more in Nature Kids in 2013. Thanks, Rich!
