Hello There,
February is gone, I've emerged from the shadow of Mt. Hood and a new cut of the film (that I'm pretty excited about) has successfully been completed. - March will be dedicated to getting some much needed feedback and working out a revised cut by early April. - The wheels are rolling. . .

Posted project update #5"The catastrophe of collapse allows for the birth of something new." - 12 hours to go. . .
“A wildfire in a mature forest creates open spaces that allow new species to establish themselves and propagate; it destroys infestations of disease and insects; and it converts vegetation and accumulated debris into nutrients that can be used by plants and animals that reestablish themselves after the fire. The organisms that survive become much less dependent on specific, long-established relationships with each other. Most important, collapse also liberates the ecosystem’s enormous potential for creativity and allows for novel and unpredictable recombination of its elements…. Once marginal species can now capture and exploit newly released nutrients, and genetic mutations that were a bane to survival can now be a boon.”
“Because the system is suddenly far less interconnected and rigid, it’s far more resilient to sudden shock. This is a perfect setting for the forest’s plants and animals to experiment with new behaviors and relationships…”
