DESCRIPTION: This was my final project for the Experimental Filmmaking class. It deals with the ecology themes that I was exploring throughout the class. It uses long drawn-out and quiet sequences of animals and plants intercut with quickly cut loud found footage of industry and urban sprawl. I did this to create a oppositional dynamic between industrial development and the natural world.
