_ABOUT
Rooted in OZU’s contemplative stillness, this AI short film concept explores the grand cycles of nature and humanity through an extraordinary lens: the ancient Great Basin bristlecone pine (PINUS LONGAEVA). With individual trees like 'Methuselah' witnessing over 4,900 years of history, the film turns the camera outward - asking what human life looks like when time is measured not in human generations, but in millennia.
