This film is being produced by three independent filmmakers: Dave Danesh, Sean Donnelly, and Kate Kressmann-Kehoe. The trio have known each other for many years through the Rochester area filmmaker's networking group "The Rochester Film Lab". This is their first joint project. Work on the film began in January 2007.

Personal note

“I decided to make the film because fears about the effects of climate change were keeping me awake. I needed to know -- is this for real? Immediately after starting the project I felt better. Not because I was hearing good news, but because I was doing something about it. ”
