Earth Mother
As dawn breaks, Sera, the Earth Mother, emerges from the depths of greenbelt in Austin, Texas. She immediately finds herself hunted and pursued by three gnarly witches called The Wyrd Sisters. In Earth Mother’s cosmic journey over a single day, she releases the dark shadows of her past, finds her long lost love, and challenges four individuals from different paths to come together in the hopes to bring about a great creative change to the world.

Brandon Polanco is a creative Tejano artist, novelist, and a filmmaker, his professional career began in New York City where he developed projects from short films to commercials to music videos. His latest film, "Earth Mother," was shot and produced in Austin, Texas where he was originally born. Brandon's projects have ranged in style and have received multiple accolades leading him to showcase his work at the Cannes Film Festival, New York Television Festival, Ciné Fest, Big Apple Film Festival, and well over a 100 film festivals around the world. He got his first acclaim in film with his viral short, "Writer's Block" which stars Emmy Award-winning Bryan Cranston (AMC’s Breaking Bad). He released his first novel, "Dylan Rey and the Infinite Beings" in 2016 and is currently in progress on the sequel to his trilogy of novels called the "Infinite Saga." His books and films are his vision for a brighter and better future; it’s in his passion for creation that he hopes to expand the minds of the many while reminding us all the beauty of life is in each of us, we just have to find the right story that reflects our truth. Each one of his projects has helped him build a bridge for a creative universe built on magick, love, and most of all forgiveness. He is currently based in Los Angeles where he is developing projects and stories for future generations.

The primary principals for "Earth Mother" are forgiveness and love. The overall message is about the importance of taking care of our planet, but more importantly it emphasizes coming together to understand, empathize with and care for one another. It is my belief that our human salvation comes through raising our collective consciousness by sharing every story possible to minimize our differences and emphasize our shared goals. Earth Mother lives in the same magical universe as all my other creative works, but in this film, I put out a vision of what the world could be.
