About the film
In this Kansas City premier, From Fossils to Flesh follows paleoartist Gary Staab across a five-year journey as he and his team bring more than sixty extinct dinosaurs and creatures back to life as full-scale sculptures for the Edelman Fossil Park & Museum.
As these prehistoric beasts roar into reality, the museum’s founder and world-renowned paleontologist Dr. Kenneth Lacovara uses the deep past as a lens to look forward, exploring extinction, hope, and the urgent realities sculpting our shared future.
Told through the unique perspective of filmmaker Trevor Hawkins, the film feels less like traditional science programming and more like a skateboard video… fast, loose, human, and always fun.
