This film is an exploration of four major themes that emerged during research on fungi for my undergraduate honours project on fungi; anthropocentrism, anthropomorphism, anthropology, and anthropocene. Delving into the worlds of fungi asks us to unpack our assumptions about our relationship with the worlds around us and challenge human exceptionalism. What is our relationship to fungi? Why does it matter?

This film would not be possible without the support of my supervisors, friends and family. I am sincerely appreciative of the guidance and support I have received from Michael Hathaway. I am also deeply grateful for the guidance I have received from Bascom Guffin. Thank you to all of the professors who supported me in combining film and anthropology.

To my friends and family — and especially to my mother and Masala — thank you for your encouragement, your patience, and your love. Title inspired by my friend and favourite filmmaker, Emily Bayrock. Special thank you to Cheyanne Connell for your support and feedback throughout the making of this film.
