Walking Gently on the Earth

Guido Pezz

I am the sort of person who thinks a great deal about how I can take care of the environment. What I eat and the way I behave is all about my walking on the earth as gently as possible. And so I have always wanted to find a story that reflects my own personal view about life. My whole aim for this project was to be a message of slowing down and taking time to appreciate the nature around us. In a world of fast food, fast fashion and a focus on efficiency, we have become incredibly wasteful. Annie’s story is all about slowing down and appreciating the land she is connected too. So everything about this film needed to be slow and organic.
