I DREAM ABOUT TREES follows our protagonist, whom we see wearing a plant-powered oxygen mask due to the lack of trees/oxygen in the environment as he tramples his way through the iron concrete maze, we call our cities. The protagonist is portrayed as a ‘fish out of water’ as fish need oxygen which is found in water and humans need oxygen which is found in trees – take that away and we are left suffocating in our own artificial concrete jungle. The film is more of a metaphorical message rather than a narrative story. It is a visual example of our world today and has a noticeably clear and important message.
Having not gone to university or film school, at 19, I write, direct, shoot, and cut my own films independently striving to create work that is personal yet unique and different. My work on my latest film has gotten me nominated for Young Australian Filmmaker Of The Year at the AACTA Awards accredited Byron Bay International Film Festival, among others globally being recognized for both my cinematography and editing.
We have cleared nearly half of the world’s estimated 3.01 trillion trees, if the rate continues, all trees will disappear in 200 years.
This project has an incredibly important message. Film is such a powerful art form and I believe that when we mix passion with purpose we become really powerful, and I want to have a voice and open people’s eyes with topics that matter significantly. And this is one of them.
