Anatomy of a Crime Scene

Preliminary rendering by Doan Trang

Logline:   

Mother Earth is personified as the Plaintiff in a fictional ecocide

 courtroom drama based on real events. History and surreality 

expose the human species as the destructive force in perpetuating the 

vast devastation of our planet and Her most precious resources. 

Writer’s Statement: 

Mother Earth is given Her own voice in this story, which offers a compelling visual timeline

with minimal use of dialogue, to challenge the viewer to look past his/her own 

personal surroundings and observe our drastically changing landscape. 

This story was Influenced by the macabre exploitations of the Amazon rainforest,

and by a film titled "I Am Cuba" by Mikhail Kalatozov.

Story Consultant: Arvad Orion
