This short experimental film is inspired by a group of women mushroom foragers living on The Sea Ranch, Timber Cove and Anchor Bay, who embody the invisible mycelia network below our feet. The tittle “More than one” means mycelium in New Latin and Greek, which refers to the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, root-like structure. Although invisible, mycelium plays a vital role in absorbing water and nutrient, decomposing plant material and resisting pathogens. They also help forests absorb carbon pollution, delaying the effects of global warming, and protecting our planet. Like the fungi, women are primary caregivers helping to care for the well-being of our communities. With an open form— including a ‘readers’ choir, performance, montage, animation, and VFX— the work stimulates sensory and contemplative responses, evoking inter-relationships between the women, the mycelium and the forest, micro and macrocosm, real and imaginary.
