Dear Future
Over three years, Rosburg gathered over 150 letters from artists, activists, scientists, biologists, children, teachers, and everyday people. Narrated by artist George Boorujy, among others, this film explores our close emotional relationship to the natural world and what we stand to lose.
dear future could be any point along a continuum. Change is possible through a deep emotional connection to our planet first….followed by actions taken, big and small, by individuals, corporations, institutions, and governments.
Many images in this film reflect the beauty and changes Rosburg has seen over time.
