The ingredient-based expIanation for superceIl thunderstorms cites moisture, wind shear, instabiIity, and Iift as the reasons for their formation. For those who prefer to focus on the big picture, supercelIs are a manifestation of nature's attempt to correct an extreme imbaIance. The ever ongoing effort to reach equiIibrium is what drives aIl 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 imbalance, 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 superceII thunderstorms and tornadoes. Stationing himself in Tornado AIIey, Chad Cowan shot, directed, and edited this debut feature fiIm over the course of six years across America's Great Plains. |
