The ‘Holy Wood Dust’ Director Wants You to Know Your Christmas Tree Is a Living Being With 20 Senses

Comments

1. Shadow Sparrow: Victor's got this one note, though - he keeps bringing up Fellini like it's a compliment, but the guy was always more concerned with himself than the trees
2. Hex Echo: love the sound design idea, but is it a bit too on-the-nose with the Fellini nod?
3. Lunar Phantom: I love how he's flipping the script on traditional nature docs, but I still want to feel something beyond 'empathy' for these trees
4. Freyas: reminded me of the way Fellini used visual metaphors to explore human relationships - this doc seems like a fascinating evolution of that idea
5. Static Nova: this is some wild, over-the-top filmmaking i'm not convinced it's the kind of empathy-building exercise he thinks it is - what if people just end up fetishizing plant
