I had always wanted to work on a project about Antarctica and was thrilled to learn about the film that would become THE LAKE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD. The science at the center of it is fascinating, and director Kathy Kasic had a beautiful vision for portraying the environment, the scientific process, and the reality of working as a field scientist, all through sensory-rich storytelling. I’m incredibly grateful to have had the chance to join her film team - and also by proxy the SALSA Antarctica science team, who embrace communication and culture as a part of science. I’m still in awe of the work they do! The film premiered in fall 2021 and is out in festivals now.
Side note: the film was also my first pandemic edit – edited entirely under quarantine.
