At CCA, I explored consciousness, flat ontology and my own building dedication to climate initiatives. I researched bio engineered alternatives to materials, few and far between in the early days of the first half of the 21st Century, and began this short film as my thesis statement. Part of a series of books I’m working on, it's parable of climate change.

Like the prevalance in the shared imagination of the concept of a habitable world on the moon Europa, I set the story in an approximation of temperate zones created by technology. I can’t give away the specifics of the story structure but the novel was released in August of 2023. It’s available on Amazon here.

I took the original renderings in black and white I made in Maya and painted over them in an homage to concept design, especially in my own relationship to early love in childhood of the concept design of Ralph McQuarrie and Science Fiction pulp covers. I decided to make this, subsequently, a short photo film, and not a traditional animation. Again, technology doesn’t currently exist to make these films as an independent artist, someday they may.
