WHATEVERTREE
The story of how a dead tree becomes an online viral meme and selfie destination. The film also describes how the “wildlife tree” is home to fungi, insects, and other creatures, performing a unique role in the forest ecosystem. Louise observes and records wildlife with her smartphone, representing E.O. Wilson’s “biophilia” hypothesis – that humans innately seek connections with nature.
