An SC Johnson Community Interest Program
Join us for a private screening of the 30-minute documentary Beyond Our Senses: Bank Swallows with guest producer/director David Busse. Each spring, thousands of bank swallows return to the Lake Michigan bluffs to build colonies, mate and raise their young. Guided by extraordinary perceptions like tetrachromatic vision, magnetic senses and aerial mastery, they navigate predators, rivals and the relentless demands of survival in a hidden world beyond human perception.
Following the screening, Busse shares the story of his obsessive quest to document the swallows, leading him to daily check-ins, deep research and collaborations that spanned the globe. He’ll also share insights into the filmmaking journey. Time will be held for Q&A with Busse and Hoy Audubon Society.
David Busse is a four-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and video producer based in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By day, he works in advertising; by night, he pursues films, driven by exploring the natural world and Lake Michigan’s ecosystems. His previous work includes the nature documentary SNOWSTORM and a photo series anchored by the
lake’s landscape. Beyond Our Senses: Bank Swallows represents his most ambitious project to date. He is currently submitting the film to festivals and hosting screenings throughout the Great Lakes region to connect with local communities.
