Bring a Film to Life! Seedlings Collective x Nightflower Happy Hour

Most of the world can't see the Milky Way anymore. Nightflower is a feature documentary by Emmy-nominated director Rosie Feerick and Peter Ackerman (National Geographic, OceanX, HBO) about the people working to understand and combat what artificial light is doing to the planet. Come have a drink with us! Learn about how artificial light pollution affects everything from nocturnal pollinators to the ocean's carbon cycle. Meet the people producing Nightflower, hear where the film is headed, and catch us as we're just getting started. **Program for the Evening** ​6:00 — Doors + drinks; ambient soundscape set by Derin Ayla ​7:00 — Welcome address ​7:10 — Panel conversation with Nightflower directors Rosie Feerick and Peter Ackerman ​7:30 — Music by Derin Ayla + installation + drinks ​8:30 — Close ___ Seedlings Collective was established with one goal: bring people together to realize ideas the world doesn't yet know it needs. We're building a community of curious, driven people who want to grow something beyond their careers. Seedlings is for people who want a front-row seat to work happening at the nexus of science, exploration, and culture--and those who want to help nurture it into the world. Our first project is Nightflower, a feature documentary about the individuals who are working to understand and combat artificial light pollution.
