Director Statement

“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”
― Cree Indian Prophecy

This quote always haunts me and the idea of actually eating money gives me a chuckle. I wanted to pit the emotional backlash of capitalist culture against the justifications of trickledown economics. But I wanted to have fun with it.
