Documentary film and long-form conversation — exploring landscape, ecology, and the questions that sit at the edge of the natural and the made.
Documentary film
Echoes of a Hermit is not really a film about me disappearing into solitude. It is about what solitude leaves behind when you stop treating it as emptiness and start listening to what it has been trying to teach you.
It follows the quiet, difficult space between isolation and resilience, and how writing became the thread that kept me connected to the world even when I was living at a distance from it.
Every story begins somewhere. For Lawrence Nault, it begins on a trail, beside a river, or in the silence of Alberta's wilderness. On Nature and Writing follows the connection between landscape and imagination, revealing how mountains, forests, wildlife, and solitude become the foundation for novels, essays, and ideas. Filmed throughout Alberta, the documentary is a meditation on creativity, conservation, and the enduring influence of the natural world.
