Rossellini both directs and performs, and is involved in all aspects of the production, from research to script and costume. When she takes on the role of a cuckoo, deer or bee, she embraces the animal\u2019s perspective and creates a portrait that is as humorous as it is informative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-m-font-size\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Rossellini is deeply engaged in issues relating not only to nature and the environment, but also to animal emotions and behavior. The short films were created following a request from the Sundance Film Festival to produce a series of short films on environmental themes. The project has resulted in around forty films and has been shown at both film festivals and natural history museums. <em>Take a Good Look<\/em> is presented in close proximity to the habitats of the species it portrays, from spiders in the barn to earthworms in their underground world.
