This groundbreaking feature-length documentary by Emmy-winners Jon Siskel and Greg Jacobs is built out of thousands of hours of in-the-moment footage—no narration, no talking heads. "The Here Now Project transforms the ordinary act of shooting a cell phone video into the radical act of bearing witness, capturing both the simultaneous, global nature of climate change itself and the deeply human resilience, resourcefulness, and courage needed to confront it. At once epic and intimate, the film is a wake-up call to the world from the world. The message: we’re all in this, together."

A climate-change documentary that is entirely comprised of found, personal footage shot by ordinary people all over the world with nothing added deserves a score that matches. So I made one - created entirely and exclusively from the sounds found in the original footage. Nothing added. (Well, except in the end credits...)
Kubilay Uner makes adventurous, eclectic, colorful music for media ranging from film and television to concerts and records.
He blends acoustic, synthetic and found sounds, builds his own instruments, bends tempos, layers noise, mixes metaphors, and is generally convinced that good music only happens when you mix things up.
Credits include his SCL-Award-nominated score for the historical drama “American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally” starring Al Pacino, the cutting-edge climate change documentary "The Here Now Project", the Mel Gibson action film “Force of Nature”, the Lionsgate Western "Gone Are the Days" featuring Lance Henriksen, Tom Berenger and Danny Trejo, as well as "Big Sur", based on Jack Kerouac's novel; plus a genuine Wyld Stallyns track for "Bill & Ted Face the Music", record productions for soul legend Bobby Womack; the score for the Busch Gardens theme park ride "Corkscrew Hill", and music for video art installations at the Pasadena Museum of California Art and in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
