I Could Have Been A Tree Instead

In the hauntingly beautiful realm of "I Could Have Been A Tree Instead," the fusion of art, technology, and storytelling transcends the ordinary, inviting audiences into an otherworldly audiovisual odyssey. This film is a digital creation sprung out of the surreal art of Beatrix Ost and Michelle Gagliano. A surrealist dive into the immediate realities of humanity’s affect on Earth - imploring us to pay attention, asking us to look deeper at our personal effects on our internal and external environments. How can we make our individual and collective lives more meaningful, beautiful, and with heart? What will it require for us to know we are all an integral part of nature?
