Project Title: Here’s Mud In Your Eye

Brief Synopsis: Mud is the blood of the Earth. Landscapes buckle and mountains dissolve. In the Arctic, ancient muds fixed in permafrost dissolve into sediment plumes that spread across the ocean. Boundaries blur, leaving concepts in tatters. Geological and biological changes now occur at human speed.

Distracted by sleek interfaces, we venture into "the realm of the unwell." In October 2025, the UN announced we surpassed the 1.5°C heating limit—Planetary Boundaries are among us. Maps lose relevance as geography syncopates with human pace. Data decay is frantic; the past offers no guidance.

The film examines how human hands navigate as science struggles to keep up with evolving data. We are not measures of geo-ecological reality, yet all knowledge passes through us. Rapidly changing muds reveal unpredictable stresses, deeply affecting cultivation—the very foundation of culture. The North Atlantic seabed serves as an organic library of planetary history, with vital micro-life battling fears related to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).
