Current

We have been asked to adapt a lot in the past few years…how do we embrace the pain, the loss, the reality of what has been taken from us? Many of us have turned to nature and its lessons during this time.

Sonya Renee Taylor has an incredible quote: “We will not go back to normal. Normal never was. Our pre-corona existence was not normal other than we normalized greed, inequity, exhaustion, depletion, extraction, disconnection, confusion, rage, hoarding, hate and lack. We should not long to return, my friends. We are being given the opportunity to stitch a new garment. One that fits all of humanity and nature.”

Current is a film that takes naturally-occurring disturbances and uses them as a lens to see how our own experiences are not unlike these turbulent, aggressive, and displacing events in nature. The film explores how nature restores itself and how we can adapt, discover and cultivate our individual and collective restoration through tiny moments—slow and gradual. Current captures how we progress from the grotesque and difficult to the beautiful and hopeful.
