Living on Arno
December 6, 2009

We camped in the yard of the island Queen’s house, located front and centre in the small village of Jabu. We were awoken every [...]

Biorock: A Hybrid of Good Things for the People of Arno

Dr. Goreau’s technology called Biorock is a revolutionary system that allows him to grow coral reefs at five to ten times the natural rate. Dr. Goreau and his team construct cage skeletons out of steel rebar on shore, take [...]
Production on Arno
December 1, 2009
From the get go we wanted to add as much production value to this project as we possibly could. I had no idea how difficult executing some of the most basic steps of production would be in Arno – even setting up our dolly track proved to be a big challenge. Transporting it and then [...]
