SheRock Science- Encounters in My Backyard

Encounters in my Backyard is a submission to the National Geographic Wild to Inspire short film competition, themed "Everyday Explorer". Exploration begins within. This film begins with using the letters of “Everyday explorer” to examine what it may mean to be an explorer. From this perspective it introduces the main character, #SheRockScience, who is a biologist thinking about the minute details of her world around her. As such, the first question she poses is “why is the grass green?” The film then explores her backyard, thinking about the green grass and the science behind what is in her yard, just outside her door. The film aims to entertain artistically and visually while sneaking in science facts for viewers of all ages. The video was created by SheRockScience Production.
