Patagónia - The tip of the world

Paulo Ferreira recently saw his short documentary "Nordlys" awarded in Hollywood. This year intends to carry out a new project near the South Pole latitude.

This campaign aims to raise a portion of the value needed to make a documentary in Patagónia, somewhere between Chile and Argentina. In the previous work titled "Nordlys" that can be seen at https://vimeo.com/163109296, Paulo Ferreira emphasized the fact that it is necessary to counteract the strong light pollution that affects our Earth planet, our only home. Now and with this new project, it aims to highlight aspects that are guided by the obligation of environmental preservation, changing habits and economic policies and that have been devalued a little around the world, namely some leaders and politicians from large countries. Paulo Ferreira has already proven his previous work and was awarded in Hollywood, that is able to present us fantastic videos in timelapse technique. Join this new project and you will be part of it in the future.
