About this Video
For years I have wanted to get my sugar gliders into a film, but I wanted it to be a strong story that would have an actual impact. This film was a true passion piece that I felt almost spiritually obligated to write, finally utilizing my degree in environmental studies. I wanted to explore our planet's history from a non-human point of view - illuminating the destructive consequences that exist hand-in-hand with human progress. As artists, we are in a unique position to change peoples' minds and hearts by presenting real world issues and facts through the lens of fiction.
