When Elveria, a self-absorbed eco-influencer, livestreams loggers to bolster her brand, she is confronted by a mystical creature desperate to save the forest she calls home. The two strangers unite and are forced to put aside their egos to save humanity and the forest.

Why this Story:
With the collaboration of industry volunteers, Reel Start students were able to highlight a compelling narrative on environmental issues and one’s ability to detach themselves from the digital world and reconnect with mother nature. In Tree’s Blood, self-absorbed eco-influencer Elveria live streams loggers to bolster her brand when, suddenly, she is confronted by a mystical creature who is desperate to save the forest she calls home. The two strangers unite and are forced to put aside their egos to save humanity and the forest.
