producer and dramatist

Two elephants with outrageous French accents bicker about how to cross an unexpected ocean. Is this story all it seems? Where have the other elephants gone? And why won’t they stop arguing about it?

As we humans find ourselves the potential victims of a mass extinction event of our own causing, Two by Two finds misery, silliness and beauty in stories about the coming end of the world.
