- ABOUT THE FILM -

​

The idea for the film came from a number of places, one being from my foreign exchange friend, Bah. It's no secret that Eastern Kentucky is rural, but to my dismay she told me she could barely find information about the area before her stay. This gave me the idea to show the world to more about Eastern Kentucky's natural beauty all while promoting environmental awareness by showing the value of the area and the negative impacts of human actions. Another inspiration for the film is economic improvement for the area from tourism, aka people see the film and hear about what you can do there and suggestions of places to visit then go. Learn more about the film's Kickstarter on the Selected Works Page and more about where I got some of my statistics and additonal environmental information.
