An enigmatic choreography of industriousness and dysfunction, Terrestrial carries us through the arterial flows of transport, into buried subway networks and soaring aerial views, against a backdrop of uniquely human dissonance. - Andrea Picard

The film was inspired by an incident in 2014 where a Blue Line train in Chicago failed to stop at its final destination, the O’Hare airport, and eventually came to a stop halfway up the escalator at the airport’s entrance. Terrestrial (2015) re-imagines this accident as an earthbound machine’s failed takeoff.
