Lichen
Producer
An otherworldly film that takes a deep dive into a species that confounds scientists to this day. Ancient and diverse, thriving in adversity, lichen is a model of ‘emergence.’ This film reveals the hidden magical beauty of this remarkable life form and asks what we might learn from it.
Embers and the Giants
Producer
Embers and the Giants presents an endangered, old-growth forest during twilight, articulated by thousands of embers of light. Are we witness to a rare, exceptionally beautiful display of fireflies? Or is human intervention at play?
