Unearth Me and See Me Wildly Dance is a feature-length, collaborative film as well as a poem based in a fantasy queer mythology about monsters, humans, and spirits, primarily by queer and non-binary artists Rae Teitelbaum and Brody Mace-Hopkins. This experimental film acts as a contemporary queer mythology and a reclamation of LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized bodies and experiences and their relationship to ecological worlds, while also embodying the dichotomies, conflicts, violence, grief, and healing processes taking place within and between human and more-than-human worlds regarding current social and environmental issues. The narrative explores this fantasy world comprised primarily of anthropocentric, humanoid creatures, the ‘humans’, the wondrous beasts living symbiotically with the earth, the ‘monsters’, and the ‘spirits’, guardians of all realms, earthly and celestial, and focuses on a future-time-land that harnesses collaborative practices for an earthly survival. Unearth Me and See Me Wildly Dance was an initial exploration into queer worlding, speculative fabulation, and artistic collaboration of worldmaking through film, performance, writing, costume making.
