Planet Tobler
An alien wildlife mockumentary set on a distant planet, 'Planet Tobler’ narrated by, Christopher Lloyd( ‘Back To The Future’, ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest’, ‘Adam’s Family’, ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit?’). Planet Tobler heavily references BBC’s Planet Earth series, presented by David Attenborough. It’s made in admiration of wildlife documentaries like Planet Earth but also takes a cheeky interpretation of the natural world where naughty bits and quirky misfits engulf this foreign land. Sound Designer and Founder of Echolab, Gavin Little helped produce this film with me, and I can’t thank him enough for it!
