#treetoo | a Poem by Maria Westerberg
When I mapped out the three week crowdfunding campaign (to fund the post production for the next film) I thought to myself: ”I better save something really good for the last week, when everyone will be sick of hearing me go on about the campaign.” And so I saved this poem for the final week.
It’s no secret that the artist and poet Maria Westerberg is part of the film I’m working on. I was initially going to have her chapter of the film center around one of her poems called #treetoo. But then, after I had filmed with her on a few separate occasions, I just had too much great material. I couldn’t fit it all.
In the end I lifted this poem out of the film to give room for other wisdom. And turned it into its own film. A little four minute poem-film that I’m thrilled to present today.
The thing just gives me goosebumps! I hope it does you too!
With love,
