The filmmaker’s family business in the 1970s was a solar powered water heating company called Suncor that had an optimistic start until government subsidies were removed. This animation imagines a deep future where such programs had been allowed to thrive. It samples colors from the Seattle overcast sky, and voyages near the sun where future dwellers in golden suits communicate through unicorn horns and live in satellites made of fruit.
