"When I was a kid I saw My Name Is Joe in the theater. I’d never seen anybody act like Peter Mullan before and I’d never seen a movie like that, period. Watching Mullan in that movie I was just like, how do you do that? How do you get actors to do that? After that I watched every Ken Loach movie I could. Kes is one of my favorite movies ever. The plot of We the Animals is very smiliar to Kes; we follow the same formula. In fact, the entire last third of our movie is completely ripped off from the end of Kes and follows almost beat by beat the storytelling of that film."

2020 | Documentary, Sci-Fi
This pseudo-documentary is really hard to define. It utilizes science, and science-fiction to great these different worlds with their our different flora, fauna, animals and landscape. Each episode is a new planet. It was definitely thought provoking.
I'm torn on the VFXs, I felt like they helped, but in some ways, hurt the program. At some points, it was a little shoddy, but at other times, it was great and visually appealing. It was definitely worth watching, and I would be willing to watch another season.
Forgot to mention, I loved Sophie Okonedo as the narrator. I've been a fan of hers since Aeon Flux, and her voice was amazing for this program.
