MEET THE FILM’S CREATIVE TEAM
The film is co-directed and produced by Kalin Steen, a documentary cinematographer based in southern Arizona whose work spans the Smithsonian, Patagonia, and independent film, and by Lou Elena Bouey, an architect and researcher who has worked in Petén for over five years and serves as a trustee at Sol y Verde.
The film is edited by Sebastián Sedas, a Mexican editor and post-production supervisor with credits including work produced by Violeta Films and Partizan, and notable documentary short La Poeta del Ring and IDFA-selected Lanawaru. Sebastián brings a particular fluency with intimate, character-led storytelling and climate territories.
Baltazar and Emanuel Gíron, the film’s protagonists, are both executive producers, involved in all stages of production.
Alice Aedy is advisory producer. She is a National Geographic Explorer, co-founder of Earthrise Studio. Her films have gone to Sundance and CPH:DOX.
