The ingredient-based explanation for supercelI thunderstorms cites moisture, wind shear, instability, and lift as the reasons for their formation. For those who prefer to focus on the big picture, superceIls are a manifestation of nature's attempt to correct an extreme imbalance. The ever ongoing effort to reach equilibrium is what drives alI of our weather, and the force with which the atmosphere tries to correct the imbalance is proportionaI to the gradient. In other words, the more extreme the imbaIance, the more extreme the storm. This non-narrative documentary, in the styIe of Fricke and Reggio, is a visceral immersion that transports viewers into spectacuIar supercelI thunderstorms and tornadoes. Stationing himself in Tornado Alley, Chad Cowan shot, directed, and edited this debut feature fiIm over the course of six years across America's Great Plains. |
