THE EDGE OF NATURE

The Edge of Nature is a unique and compelling hybrid – at once a record of a deeply personal journey through long Covid, a nature documentary, an examination of intergenerational trauma, and a call to action to put the protection of the planet first.
Festival Director J’aimee Skippon-Volke says, “As a filmmaker, Josh Fox is a change-maker; he is able to convey the importance of each individual in being part of the change, and take that message to the world. With Australia already in drought and the threat of bushfires at extreme levels, this film is the rallying-cry we need right now.”
Scientists have come to call the first 6-8 months of the Covid Pandemic “The Anthropause.” During this time industrial fossil fuel pollution plummeted and for the very first time in history, worldwide emissions were reduced enough to halt climate change.
In the midst of the global shutdown, Josh Fox, who is suffering from neurological symptoms and cognitive damage from long covid, isolates himself in a one room cabin in the hopes that his beloved Pennsylvania forest can heal him.
During his nine month seclusion, he confronts the legacy of genocide and intergenerational trauma that scars the land and his family. His co-stars are a tenacious group of beavers, a young bear mother, howling coyotes and a ton of invasive honey-suckle.
Nature may just teach us how to heal ourselves and the lessons of the Anthropause may just save the world.
We need your support for final edits, a proper sound mix and to get Josh to and from Australia! We need to raise $10,000 as soon as possible to do this.
Can you help?
Will you chip in $10, $20, $50, $100 to make this happen? This film has received NO mainstream financial support, I just knew that it needed to be made, and now that it is having a WORLD PREMIERE we need to ensure the quality is ready for the big screen. I cannot wait to show you this film!
