Director Biography - Sally Sherwood

After an experimental childhood filled with many adventures and misadventures, Sally studied Fine Art at UC Santa Cruz. There she studied painting, photography and digital art. This led her on a path to the film industry, where working on big budget Hollywood films, she was able to learn a craft she could apply to her personal projects. Her goal with art and film is to inspire a shift to clean renewable energy, preservation of forests, reforestation, an end to industrial animal abuse, and a general appreciation for the wonders of nature. Her art is a prayer for the planet and a love letter to all that is wild and free. She hopes to remind people of where we came from and where we can go.

Director Statement

I started doing art mostly as a form of therapy, to heal from trauma, and to try and create something magical out of something painful. I was fortunate enough to travel to places like India and Brazil and be inspired by everything from ancient cultures to old growth rainforests. Now my art is a prayer for the planet and a love letter to all that is wild and free. I hope to remind people of where we came from and where we can go.
