Seeds Of Change
This film-short views “tolerance” from the perspective of the Earth as a living organism, and “being” that may have had to exercise great tolerance toward human beings, as humans have, particularly in the last century, shown an ever-increasing lack of respect, and carelessness toward the earth; our home. Just as human beings of differing race, color, and religious belief deserve each other’s respect, which at times requires “tolerance,” or the act of voluntarily choosing to regard others as ourselves, so-to the earth then, deserves the respect of human beings toward her. At the core of the disharmony we now see on the planet, evidenced by toxic waste being dumped in our water sources, a cocktail of chemical poisons in every breath of air we breath, chemical pesticides sprayed on our food sources, and global warming threatening the balance of the natural world; our home, is the fundamental error in thinking we human beings are separate from earth: Independent, and not interdependent. Its abundantly clear if one is paying attention at all, human beings have “missed the mark.” In our hubris we have forgotten the earth is our home, and even our mother, as most tribal cultures consider earth to be, and as such, we must repay our mothers with gratitude, respect, and honor for her gift of life. With these well-known images of earth as home, and mother juxtaposed with images of ill-health on the planet today, it is clear human beings have lost the profound, and necessary connection to earth that is required to achieve balance, or “homeostasis” and health.

A Minute of Your Time: "Wine to Water"
So do you favor a dry chardonnay with your fish? Or maybe something from Provence? Well, it may all be moot if climate change has its way. Global warming is changing the winemaking map across the world as weather becomes hotter and water more scarce. France may feel the pinch, but English wineries couldn't be happier...

nature IT
"nature IT" is a stop motion short film about nature and industry, planet earth and the humans, ecology and pollution. Those are the core topics for an oniric story, a human adventure on earth, his thoughtless behaviour and harmful activity. The new nature is born - the industry nature, trees made of metal and steel. The film does not give an answer what to do, it is an illustration of the topic.
