She wanted to create a short film as a poetic tribute to one of the largest temperate rainforests in the United States: the Hoh Rainforest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I stepped foot in the Hoh, I was blown away by the golden fall light,\u201d Martin said. \u201cI\u2019d never seen anything more stunningly beautiful, not just visually but also sonically.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer, she made another trip to record the sound of the forest. This time, all the magic seemed to have seeped out of it \u2014 and climate change was to blame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her film project, she said, had suddenly shifted \u201cfrom an ode to an elegy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A spiritual sanctuary, lost<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Located on the Olympic Peninsula just a few hours from Seattle, the Hoh Rainforest is a place Martin has long considered a spiritual sanctuary. She had wanted to capture that feeling on film as best she could, and sound was a vital part of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/minda-headshot.jpg\" alt=\"A person holding a camera on a ferry.\" class=\"wp-image-34334\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/minda-headshot.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/minda-headshot-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/minda-headshot-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/minda-headshot-600x401.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just the lack of noise from trains or planes or cars, but it\u2019s also the way that sound is absorbed by all those layers of soil,\u201d she said. \u201cI wanted to capture how sound is captured in a place like that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She worked with a sound designer who independently recorded sounds throughout different old growth forests. When she returned a year later to record additional sound in the summer, Martin was greeted by a stark contrast to the place that had held such a special place in her heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere were fires nearby, and it was very dry, late summer,\u201d she said. \u201cIt didn\u2019t have the gold hue or that feeling to it. The color and sound of the forest had changed to be more brown and orange and I could hear helicopters, water planes and chainsaws. You could see and hear that it was a forest that was struggling with climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the climate-fueled fires, she also noticed evidence of resource extraction \u2014 clear-cut slopes encroaching on the ancient ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeeing all of that was really harsh,\u201d she said. \u201cIt drew me into knowing that this was something we may very well lose in our lifetimes or in our kids\u2019 lifetimes. And the two reasons will be climate change and resource extraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s just an unfathomable loss.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A personal take<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin has been making films since the early \u201990s, when she first discovered a passion for narrative and experimental documentary films during her undergraduate years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy interest in film came from having life experiences that I knew weren\u2019t represented in any of the media I was consuming at the time,\u201d she said. \u201cSeeing \u2014 particularly in independent and international cinema \u2014 these alternative ways of expressing original stories and different ways to connect and overlap narratives was inspiring for me, to say the least.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her film, \u201cOld Growth,\u201d Martin overlaps two different versions of the same place, using both layered sound and composite imagery. \u201cThe slow, patient takes mirror the forest\u2019s timescale,\u201d she wrote in her director\u2019s statement, \u201cwhile composited images reveal its accelerating transformations. The sound design reflects the deep resonance of old-growth soil, the violence of fire and the hollow quiet left by clear-cutting.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin herself also appears in the film to share her deep connection to the forest. Making it personal is a common theme throughout her work \u2014 one she encourages her students to explore as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith any kind of assignment, whether documentary or narrative, I really emphasize the personal connection to students,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s important to me that they understand how their own life experiences and their perceptions shape their work and connect to it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of her students pursue environment-related degrees or have a deep affinity for the natural world. Like her, they see media as a way to convey knowledge, raise awareness and inspire action through storytelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;With any kind of assignment, whether documentary or narrative, I really emphasize the personal connection to students.
