FILM SYNOPSIS
This film discusses our relationship to the natural world and species that are often overlooked. I wanted to not only talk about our impact on wildlife but also how culture has shaped how we respond to that impact. The story follows subjects with varying views on how human activity impacts our environment. Our small team composed solely of student filmmakers or recently graduated filmmakers.
