Filmmaker Nora Jacobson started Off The Grid Productions in 1995, in a quonset hut located at the delta of two rivers in the State of Vermont, USA.

We recently completed the digital feature film Nothing Like Dreaming a story about teenagers, madness, creativity and the sound of fire set in contemporary rural Vermont. In a fortuitous encounter, a teenage girl and an outsider artist make peace with his past as she takes control of her destiny.
