Runtime: 8 minutes
A small film crew looks up at the sky and contemplates what's really going on with our environment. This film was created as part of the 2010 International Documentary Challenge, in which a short non-fiction film had to be written, filmed, and produced within a five-day period. First-time documentary filmmaker Kim Sheridan accepted this challenge, but took it one step further. She chose to do it all with a crew of only two: herself and her husband. Kim wrote, directed, produced, co-edited, co-filmed, narrated, and even created the musical score for 'What's Up?' It is her intention that the film will encourage viewers to open their eyes and their minds, and to take action to make a positive difference in the world around us.
This is the first documentary produced by EnLighthouse Entertainment. Kim Sheridan founded EnLighthouse with the goal of spotlighting important and often obscure issues that affect us and our world but are often overlooked or altogether unknown.
Kim believes that change begins with knowledge, and knowledge begins with education. It is her goal to help make the world a better place; and to teach compassion and respect for the Earth and all living beings. Integrity is the number one priority in all that she does. Kim feels that film is a very powerful tool of change, and this film is her first documentary effort in that regard.
'What's Up?' tackles one of the more controversial (and virtually unheard of) issues in today's world, and it does so not by preaching or making demands but by asking questions and suggesting actions. The goal is to inspire viewers to learn more, pay attention, take responsibility, and get involved. It's just a small film, but the information it presents has the potential to make a big difference.
