**Flat Earth** a film by Thomson & Craighead

in production

### animate! synopsis

A desktop expedition and documentary, woven from satellite imagery found online to make an extraordinary five-minute journey around the world, encountering the splintered voices of bloggers which interleave and overlap as if to form a single conversation.
