Director Dalila Droege talks about her inspiration for this indie film:
In the summer of 2020, we were all in lockdown, debates about covid and mask wearing were exposing all kinds of divisions among neighbors, and the presidential election was looming. On top of all that, the country was in turmoil over the killing of George Floyd and protests across the country were being met with more violence. Around the same time, with the lockdown it felt like the natural world was experiencing a bit of a renewal and healing itself. Animals were reappearing in urban environments. The air was cleaner. My husband and our friends and I got together and decided to make something that expressed our feelings about what was happening in our country and our world. Our film became an allegory for what we were experiencing. Ultimately, we decided to make a story in which humans have failed for good and nature is taking back the planet.
