    Directed by Brett Ingram, Assistant Professor, Department of Media Studies at UNCG, "Rocaterrania" is a feature length documentary that explores the secret world of scientific illustrator and visionary artist Renaldo Kuhler. Ingram will lead a discussion following the screening. In the last four decades, seventy-six-year-old Renaldo Kuhler has created hundreds of plates for the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, illustrating diverse flora and fauna for obscure scientific journals and reference books. Before the making of this documentary, no one knew that Kuhler is also a prolific visionary artist. "Rocaterrania" unveils Kuhler's astounding body of work to the world and reveals the powerful story of his life in the process. Among other themes, the film is about the insidious nature of conformity, the courage to be one’s true self, and the redemptive power of artistic creation. Featuring an eclectic original score by Merge Records recording artists Shark Quest. "Rocaterrania" received an award for Best Original Music in a Documentary at the 2009 River Run Film Festival.
