LIGHT NEEDS is an experimental documentary about houseplants who cohabitate with people and the surprisingly intimate and complex relationships that can develop between them. Yet, this film is not just a document of houseplants, but rather a consideration of the benefits and losses accrued through the social contracts between plant and animal. LIGHT NEEDS looks to shine a light on the responsibility for care towards other living beings, by directly attending to the relationships humans have with nonhumans.
