artifact studios: flightpath movie
Filmmaker and director David Grabias filmed our team on location in Palm Springs documenting life as a conservation detection dog team.
An Artifact independent production, award winning film FLIGHTPATH is a meditation on death and the mourning process through the eyes of Sarah, a wildlife researcher in the California desert. Studying bird [and bat] mortality rates for a wind turbine company, she grapples with her grief and relationship to the natural world while working at night—alone but for a pair of unrelenting tracking dogs.
