Notizen aus der Produktion

Pixable joined as co-producer at an early stage. Project is a transmedia initiative with planned educational components (VR experiences, classroom workshops, lesson plans). Production is sustainability-led with a certified green consultant. Coastal-chapter location is currently inconsistent across sources — chapter structure says Venice; director's statement says Miami; key-locations slide lists Venice / TBC.

The film is built around four narratively interconnected chapters, united by an orchestral score performed on a melting glacier. Each chapter contributes acoustic material (natural sounds, indigenous voices, industrial rhythms) to a transforming "symphony of human response" and explores a different response to climate change: measurement, adaptation, engineering, spiritual reconnection.
