In a world where bodies—both human and natural—are sacred, How to Carry Water invites you into the hidden beauty of Northern Florida's freshwater springs through the eyes of Shoog McDaniel, a fat, queer, and disabled photographer whose striking images capture landscapes that have been long overlooked.
Using Shoog's own photography as a visual anchor, this immersive film celebrates the deep connection between marginalized bodies and the earth—where fat, queer, and disabled stories are told, and the waters run deep. Directed by Sasha Wortzel, this award-winning filmmaker uses video, installation, sculpture, sound, and performance to explore how this country’s past and present are inextricably linked through resonant spaces and their hauntings. Don’t miss this transformative portrait of Shoog McDaniel—a bold act of celebration, defiance, and visual storytelling.
