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.

Director Statement

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.
