A musical / natural world experience dreamed up by cellist Jacqueline Ultan and realized with help from her bandmates in The Starfolk and her life partner artist David Bartley. Their 15 minute short film shows what happens when a gifted cellist goes directly to the stark expansive landscape of the South Dakota Badlands for musical inspiration. Happy Earth Day!
