OUR TEAM AND BOARD
About
Founded by Hilton Graham, The Little Bear Project brings together people with a shared passion for the outdoors, storytelling, conservation, and the future we leave behind. Our leadership draws from trusted relationships with people whose experience, integrity, and care for communities and the natural world guide their work. Together, they help shape our direction and connect us with new stories, collaborators, and contributors who believe in the power of film to inspire lasting change.
HILTON GRAHAM
FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR
Hilton Graham is a filmmaker, storyteller, and the founder of Love Affair Studios and The Little Bear Project. Since founding Love Affair Studios in 2015, he has focused on stories that connect people to one another and to the natural world. He began the idea for Little Bear with his daughter, whom he affectionately calls “Little Bear,” and his hope for the world she will inherit. That personal connection gives the project its name and its purpose: using film to support people, protect the places we love, and inspire care for the future. For Hilton, Little Bear brings together his work as a filmmaker and his responsibility as a father—a way to help create a better future for his daughter and the generations growing up alongside her.
VIV PEASLEY
SENIOR PRODUCER
Viv Peasley began at Love Affair Studios as an assistant and has grown into her role as Vice President and Senior Producer, becoming closely involved in both the creative work and the relationships behind it. Working alongside Hilton, she has helped bring stories to life through photography, production, and design, getting to know the people and causes at the heart of each film. With The Little Bear Project, Viv has taken the lead on design and will serve in its leadership, helping shape an organization she has been part of building from the beginning. Little Bear gives her an opportunity to bring her creativity and care for people into work with a lasting purpose.
