ABOUT

Wings of Life is a visually stunning documentary that delves into the realm of flowers and their pollinators. Executive produced by Oscar-winner, Jake Eberts and produced by the award-winning director and cinematographer, Louie Schwartzberg, the film was released in April 2013 and narrated by Meryl Streep.

My job was to design the brochure to help convince financiers to back the production. In developing the brief, I decided that it wasn't enough to just showcase Schwartzberg's impressive cinematography. The fascinating relationship between plants and the creatures that pollinate them - that their mutual dependence is a kind of love story had the strongest emotional hook. This resulted in a warm, evocative and inspirational design.

The production secured funding from Disney Nature.

Wings of Life won Best Theatrical Program at the Jackson Hole Science Media Awards 2012.


I've included some pages from the 17 page brochure here. The production had the working title 'Naked Beauty' during development.
