This collection of cinematographers and musicians has been brought together by Lynette because many of them share similar views on the issues closest to the heart of the work. Some, like Dave Hannan and Tanya Tagaq are long-term friends. Others like Antony Hegarty and Sakamoto are new associates whose views on the environment caused a natural resonance.
