"Connected" is a short film created to celebrate the wonder of Florida while bringing light to her wounds. The creator, Meg Griffin, knew that she wanted to use the alien communication theme of the song “Stardust” by Kozmos to translate the messages of a population in need, specifically, Florida’s marine life. Meg prioritizes accurate documentation in her filming and had already acquired some footage to showcase the state of her home and its waters. Every time she embarked upon an experience she witnessed the hurt with the beauty. The life of this land, the rivers, springs, and the constant breath of the Gulfstream and Everglades are things that she admires about her home and feels that its suffering is important to share. "Connected" is filmed and edited by Megan (Meg) Griffin, with underwater photos provided by Timothy Sullivan and a satellite image provided by NASA. Timothy Sullivan appears as the key cast in this film with an emphasis on seeing the ocean through Meg Griffin’s lens as denoted by her special appearance at the end of the film.
