The film is a creation of Bentley Ousley, film maker, computer programmer, composer and musician from Kansas City, Missouri, and is narrated by Dr. Vayujeet Gokhale, Associate Professor of Physics, Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri. Over the past decade, Ousley has worked extensively with immersive film and ambient music compositions, one of which earned him the Grand Prize in the Warner Brothers Pictures’ “Inspiring the Future” competition. Gokhale has spearheaded IDA Missouri’s program to measure sky brightness in Missouri.
“This amazing film is an exciting way to show how misdirected light is causing us to lose our night sky heritage.” said Don Ficken, President of IDA Missouri. “We encourage governments, businesses, and the public to adopt responsible lighting principles to protect our Missouri night skies from light pollution.”
