DOCUMENTARY SHORT / IN POST-PRODUCTION
Designing for What Comes Next
Who gets to shape the places we call home?
Places are never just backgrounds. They hold memories, shape belonging, and reflect choices about whose needs matter.
THE FILM
Designing for What Comes Next examines the human consequences of those choices through landscape architects and community voices confronting environmental loss and change.
From the aftermath of destructive fires in Southern California to questions of access, displacement, and public space, the documentary asks what it takes to rebuild without repeating the conditions that left communities vulnerable.
It is a film about recovery, responsibility, and the future of shared places—and about who gets a say in what comes next.
