The Farmer’s Daughter is an eco-conscious stop-motion animated short film about a daughter who strives to save her father’s failing conventional farm using regenerative farming practices. It is the first short film from Kalispell-based eco-conscious stop-motion animation studio, The Sisters Bloom, whose mission is to create in alignment with Nature. The film is made entirely from non-toxic, eco-friendly, and natural materials and methods. Even the score was tuned to 432Hz, the sound at which we hear Nature, rather than the industry standard 440Hz. 

The film is directed by Melissa Bloom, founder of The Sisters Bloom. After working for several years in Hollywood, on projects such as Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken and David O’Russell’s American Hustle, Melissa stepped away and embarked on a holistic healing journey alongside her sister, learning firsthand that human health is directly related to our environment. She realized that it wasn’t the art form of stop-motion that was the problem, but the materials and methods that had become standard practice. Her mission is to reform the industry by replacing the toxic and wasteful practices with eco alternatives.
