A River as a Character
https://doi.org/10.1163/23644583-00401016
In this digital paper I explore my process for creating a character out of a non-human entity. As a filmmaker, I feel the need to develop a deep relational connection with what I film and I was unsure how I could do this with the Murray-Darling River.

https://vimeo.com/snodgermedia/interview-with-a-tree
Considering our disastrous global relationship with nature, I set out to explore how I could relate differently to nature as a filmmaker. Instead of observing a tree, I decided to interview it to see how that changed the way I filmed it.
