"SURFACE”

Role: Director, DP, Editor

“All people on Earth depend directly or indirectly on the ocean and cryosphere. The global ocean covers 71% of the Earth surface and contains about 97% of the Earth’s water. Together they support unique habitats and are interconnected with other components of the climate system through global exchange of water, energy and carbon.

The projected responses of the ocean and cryosphere to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and global warming include changes over decades to millennia that cannot be avoided, thresholds of abrupt change, and irreversibility.”

What happens when these effects bubble up to the surface? What happens to us once there’s no reversing these changes to our system.

“SURFACE” is an experimental macro film featuring musical artist, T. Gowdy’s “Twenty One L1ghts.” It aims to create an uncomfortable meditation around these questions.

All lighting and effects done practically in-camera.

Format: Ursa Mini + Bubbles
