DEAR EARTHLING
(in post-production)
21 min
While considering freezing her eggs, a filmmaker begins writing letters to a hypothetical future person, someone whose very existence, and ability to live on Earth, would depend on fragile systems of temperature control. In search of clarity, she turns her camera toward other human acts of preservation: national parks, seed banks, landscape paintings, and her parents’ storage unit. A deeply personal journey unfolds into a broader meditation on uncertainty, control, and the stories we tell ourselves about the past, the future, and our place in both.
