Like Little Earthquakes
As a series of lasts come to fruition, dinosaur caretaker Guy Gsell faces the final days of a world he spent 15 years keeping alive. At Field Station Dinosaurs, Guy’s daily routine of endless repairs, sing-along educational shows and caring for 31 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs grows more fragile as the park approaches its last day.
Guy reflects on the passage of time, devotion, and the quiet ache of letting go. “like little earthquakes” is a bittersweet ode to the worlds we build and the traces they leave behind once they're gone.
Directors Statement
We are not sure we know what a true last is, why it happens, or where things go. What drew us to Guy wasn't the absurdity of what surrounded him, it was his inkling to care for it anyway. Surrounded by styrofoam and steel, he offered us something we hadn't expected — a particular kind of presence that most of us rarely practice. This film allows us to sit with something before it’s gone.
