I prioritise introspection over prescription when portraying affected communities. While filming in a remote coastal district, we found residents eager to participate. When we later screened the film, they deeply connected with its depiction. It’s encouraging to see Hollywood embracing climate narratives, as exemplified by Don’t Look Up. COP 30 in Brazil is set to highlight culture’s role in climate action. Recently appointed to the UN Climate Change Secretariat’s Film/TV Steering Committee, I aim to shape global disaster management policies.
