You know what you can see from space? Blue. Green. Brown. The Pacific. The Redwoods. The Andes. Places begging to be experienced. You know what you can’t see? Your phone. Your computer. Deadlines. All the materialistic stuff that consumes us. Modern life gets complicated. Yet what matters remains simple. Earned experiences over gathered possessions. Nature stays essential. Majestic. Transformational. Our film’s heroes—three siblings who took different paths in life—experience this profound truth on an adventure to discover something their father left them. In a beautiful cinematic journey guided by their father’s wisdom, they find all they ever needed.

As our lives becomes more connected and complicated, our need to unsubscribe and find meaningful connections with the natural world also increases. We want to defy a culture that says you need more, or you will be less. Nature offers a deep reward to those curious about their next journey. This feels especially true in our global “always on” society.

Because we set out to depict an emotional journey evolving hand-in-hand with a physical one, we relied on a clean, unaffected, classically cinematic editing style. The three siblings in the piece are suddenly faced with the renewed burden of coming to terms with the loss of their father while also attempting to reboot their relationships with one another and with themselves. These struggles are underscored by the real world challenges presented by their outing. The reliance on the fine performances and the choice to linger on shots that convey nature’s enduring truths together serve as the catalyst for an intentionally slow-paced cinematographic experience that conveys a strong message of profound love without judgment.
