Playing With Fire

When lightning strikes ignite a firestorm in the redwood forests of Boulder Creek, CA, artist-activists, Beth and Annie—partners for 23 years—are forced to evacuate with their dog, Butch. They don’t just survive the CZU Fire—they are transformed by it.

This fiery documentary becomes a love letter to resilience, queerness, and the Earth. The couple navigates trauma, social fires, and climate crisis—honoring voices from formerly incarcerated firefighters to Indigenous elders to trans community. Albert, a wild, white peacock helps narrate the story, which ends with a Wedding to Fire. Can we learn to live with fire instead of fighting it? This mythopoetic doc film dares to imagine a future aflame with love.
