Project Title: Aquaphoria (before the waters rise)

Brief Synopsis: Aquaphoria is a poetic, environmental documentary in Five chapters that explores the Filmmaker's encounters with and deep affective response to water. Moving from the bubbling rivers of Asheville, North Carolina to the Californian seashore to the Fjords and glaciers of Alaska, the Filmmaker asks what waters, at the moment of catastrophic climate change, mean to her. At once ecstatic and grieving, Aquaphoria argues that we need new vocabularies to capture the intimate scales of the emergency.
