SUPERFISKY Film

Landscape Architecture Podcast + Zanja Madre Films

"SUPERFISKY" is Episode 1 of Season 1 a full feature docuseries called LARCHITECT. The film collaboration of Episode 1 is between 'The Landscape Architecture Podcast' and the Department of Landscape Architecture at Cal Poly Pomona.

"SUPERFISKY" has completed 85% of it's filming. Thus far our documentary has exceeded our limitations on "sweat equity" and will require funding to bring it to completion. The funding will be used towards the film's music, recoloring, and the technology required for editing the footage.

The Landscape Architecture Podcast serves as a steadfast champion of Landscape Architecture. As the podcast grew its success and reach, it was only natural that it transitioned into filmmaking. When the department head (Andrew Wilcox) of the Landscape Architecture Department at Cal Poly Pomona asked podcast and film producer Michael Todoran if he would like to teach a film class, Michael enthusiastically agreed. 

The class was built around the student-led decision that the film should share a story with a strong sense of civic responsibility combined with a central character that is already in motion. Driven by this direction, fellow landscape architecture faculty 'Kat Superfisky' was the perfect match. 

“The LA River to me is the definition of a beautiful disaster. It's this idea that went awry. All along we thought that we were doing something great and then we woke up and exclaimed that maybe we missed the mark on that. Maybe we should have thought twice about channelizing a waterway.”
