We are currently developing a follow-up short film, HIROSHIMAS PER SECOND, about how to have personal conversations around climate news. If you are interested in getting involved somehow (as a subject matter expert or an ally), please email venusbytuesday@gmail.com.
“Feeling The Apocalypse” has been a wonderful educational tool for my work in higher education sustainability. From students to professional staff, it has strong resonance with people passionate about environmental issues, and sparks deep and genuine discussion about navigating climate anxiety and eco-grief. I believe FTA has a place in every classroom syllabus focusing on environmentalism and social change.

Despair is not an overreaction.
It is an appropriate and empathetic response to what’s happening everywhere.
But our short film isn’t just about anguish. It’s also about what we do now. No, our individual actions may not be able to change the course of feedback loops or reverse fossil fuel extraction. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be contributing a community, we can’t be learning useful skills, and we can’t be connecting with other people and making a difference in their lives, now or later.
Our lives don’t necessarily have to become less meaningful as the world is crumbling around us. Quite the opposite.
You can get Feeling the Apocalypse from our educational distributor GOOD DOCS. Find out more here.
