EP. 1848: Filmmaker Felipe Benitez & Stacy Whittle (The City's Green Room)
Matthew Toffolo interviewed the creative team behind "The City's Green Room," a 3-minute environmental film that played at the Environmental Film Festival that features world-renowned opera singer Rolando Villazón. Stacy, the writer & director, explained how they created a series called "Stories of Trees" to educate audiences about the importance of urban plant life through compelling storytelling combined with music. Felipe, the executive producer, described how they've produced 12 films so far, with the latest being a project in Salzburg, Austria, comparing Mozart to tree care. The team discussed their approach of making short, social media-friendly films that showcase real tree care activities while conveying broader environmental messages, with WILDsound sharing how the film inspired him to teach children about respecting trees during a baseball coaching session.
