The Trees That Speak

Following a North Star—Even When It Looks Like Risk

Kevin Kossowan was successful by most definitions: a career in finance, a steady path, predictability. But beneath that surface was a growing disconnect—between how he worked and who he really was. The Trees That Speak documents the moment that disconnect became too loud to ignore.

Rather than push it down, Kevin did the harder thing: he listened. He traded boardrooms for boreal forests. Spread sheets for mushroom patches. And in doing so, he found something many never do: alignment.

But this wasn’t a story about quitting. It was a story about returning—back to the pace of nature, back to curiosity, back to purpose.

At Cinescapes, we didn’t just want to showcase Kevin’s work. We wanted to capture his why. To show the quiet courage of someone stepping into a life that actually makes sense for them—and doing it with eyes wide open.

This film was built with reverence: for the land, for the risk, and for the man who dared to trust his own voice. Through slow storytelling, immersive visuals, and honest reflection, we crafted more than a profile—we built a portrait of what it means to live fully, and to lead from the inside out.

Impact

Kevin’s story has sparked conversation across creative and entrepreneurial communities—about burnout, about purpose, and about the quiet power of saying yes to a life that looks different. For viewers, The Trees That Speak wasn’t just a story about Kevin. It became a mirror.

Because the best marketing doesn’t tell you who to be. It helps you remember who you already are.
