A song, a film, and a cause.

Bear Warriors United goes to court for Florida's bears and manatees. We wrote and produced an original song for them, then built a three-minute film around it.

Verse

There's a heron standing still as stone
Where the cypress meets the tide
And the water moves the way it always moved
Before they built the other side
I was younger when the river ran
Through palmetto and through pine
Now the concrete cuts a line across the green
And calls it progress, calls it fine

Chorus

Sawgrass and salt, that's all I know
The gulf remembers what we let go
And the wind still moves across the glades at dawn
Carrying the names of things
That won't be here too long

Verse

My grandfather would set a boat
Where the mangroves held the shore
Pulled his net through water clear enough to read
A hundred years beneath the floor
Now the egrets fly a smaller sky
And the springs run warm and thin
And I wonder if the land forgives a man
For what he didn't fight to keep

Chorus

Sawgrass and salt, that's all I know
The gulf remembers what we let go
And the wind still moves across the glades at dawn
Carrying the names of things
That won't be here too long

Bridge

I don't need a map to find my way back home
I just follow where the sawgrass grows
But every year the road gets closer
And the quiet gets a little more alone

Chorus

Sawgrass and salt, that's all I need
The gulf still whispers underneath
And the wind still moves across the glades at dawn
Carrying the names of things
We should have held on to all along

Outro

The wind still moves
Across the glades at dawn

What We Made

Written, produced, and cut.

The same care we put into a platform goes into a piece of media. One team wrote the song, produced it, designed every card, and cut the film to the music.

The song

An original piece written for the cause. Sawgrass, salt, mangroves, a grandfather's boat, and a coastline that keeps giving ground. Every line is about the place the group is fighting for.

The film

A gallery of title cards built to the beat of the song. Black bears, manatees, the Everglades, the courthouse. The frontline, the mission, the lives saved, the years lost. Cut to the song, not the other way around.

The ask

The film closes on a silent auction card with a scan-to-bid code. Florida nature artists, proceeds to the legal fund. The music carries people to the moment they can act.

Carrying the names of things that won't be here too long.
