ETERNITY ONE
A disappearing island community in the Chesapeake Bay and a group of futurists pursuing technological escape from death filmed over multiple years as rising sea levels erode both land and tradition. A deep-time meteor, rendered in a game engine, narrates from outside human time.
A film about what it means to imagine a future while standing inside loss.
Observational documentary and game-engine animation run simultaneously, collapsing geological and human time into a single frame.
Filmed over multiple years on Tangier Island, Virginia, in close collaboration with the community living there. Their daily lives, labor, belief, water, are the film's primary material.
