It’s often hard to start conversations about planetary destruction, the amazon, climate change, Australia and the Arctic on fire, global swine and bird flu pandemics and the extinction of so many species.

The fact is, we are all complicit, simply because we have been born into a time of consumerism, avarice and blind searching. And the only way we are going to make it through this terrifying time as a species is if we work together in harmony with the planet rather than in opposition to it.

The Ghastly Fowl is a stark, beautifully animated short story that sheds light on what human destruction is doing to our beautiful planet. The film paves the way to what looks like a total collapse of life on our planet, only to give way to something completely unexpected. It peels away the layers of the human psyche in a countdown towards the end, which could also be the beginning.

Each number in the film represents a strand of human consciousness, boiled down to the essence of the most terrible crimes we have committed as a species.... and the journey they (we) must all embark on together to rise up into a TOTALLY new experience of what life can be.
