If you're itching to see more or get some behind-the-scenes access before the premiere, there's a lot more content on my ko-fi.

I'll also be posting more here leading up to the premiere :-)
I made this video to spell out exactly how broken our approach to airborne disease has been and continues to be, to start conversations and reach new allies.
I believe that broader awareness is desperately needed if we want to achieve the necessary critical mass of people fighting for clean air.
This project was entirely self-funded and the vast majority of the the labor was me grinding alone (big thanks to everyone whose help was key tho).
I don't even want to say how long it took to make, but I can admit I got a little monomaniacal in the pursuit of doing this story justice 😅.
The institutions that have been getting it wrong for 100 years continue to ignore airborne transmission because they don't wanr to acknowledge that they fucked up or remotely challenge our global systems which value profits over human welfare. They will never lead change.

In the video I explore the history of the (mis)understanding of airborne disease transmission from the ancient concept of miasma to the modern myth of the aerosol-generating procedure!
Here's a little teaser 👀
My film production abilities have improved immensely in the last year and I'm proud of how many skills I could bring together for this project. Here are some stills for your enjoyment.
