The sacred orchids of Mexico — Laelia anceps on the altars of the Day of the Dead, the cloud forests where it still grows wild, and the people who have woven it into a thousand years of ceremony.
Best Feature Environmental Documentary, FICAA Mexico City, 2025
Spring in Mexico is the warmest, driest season — and it brings forth unimaginable beauty. A montage-style portrait of the orchids that bloom when the forest is at its thirstiest.
A feature-length documentary in development with Orchidarc. Three interwoven scientific threads — the bioadhesive that holds pollination together, the mycorrhizal partnerships that build orchid life, and the floral deception that makes pollinators visit at all — set against the full geography of Mexican orchid habitat in Veracruz and Oaxaca.
