Cody Sheehy can add
“Rocky Mountain Emmy
winner” to his list of life ac-
complishments.
The Wallowa native has
been serving as video coor-
dinator for the College of
Agriculture and Life Scienc-
es’ communications and cy-
ber technologies department
at the University of Arizona
since 2013.
His recent documentary,
“Earthlight,” chronicles a
NASA-backed project at UA
to build 100 percent sustain-
able green houses to support
space exploration such as
trips to the moon and Mars.
The ¿lm earned an award
from The Rocky Mountain
Emmys on Oct. 17 in the cat-
egory of topical documentary.
Sheehy wrote, directed and
produced the ¿lm. He shared
the award with Executive Pro-
ducer Dave Bogner.
The Rocky Mountain Em-
mys are a division of the Na-
tional Academy of Television
Arts & Sciences that is “ded-
icated to excellence in televi-
sion by honoring exceptional
work … (in) Arizona, New
Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and
El Centro, Calif.”
“Earthlight” explores the
Lunar Greenhouse project, a
closed-system food-produc-
tion program with broad im-
plications both in space and
here on Earth.
“Lunar Greenhouse is the
third version of this particular
project,” Sheehy said. “The
work has been going on for
almost a decade. It started as
small project to get food to
people.
“The basic concept is to
minimize waste, inputs and
dependence on the external
environment.”
Lunar Greenhouse recent-
ly received additional funding
from NASA, which moved
the project to Phase III.

“There are three phases of
funding,” Sheehy said. “Many
projects stop at Phase I or
Phase II. For NASA to move
to Phase III funding is pretty
rare.”

Sheehy still has family in
Wallowa and he said he tries
to get home at least once a
year. But his work can take
him all over the world. When
the award for “Earthlight”
was announced, he was on the
other side of the world.
“I was overseas in Isra-
el ¿lming something for my
next project,” Sheehy said. “I

wasn’t even there to get it. I
didn’t think we would win.”
His next project, “Beyond
the Mirage,” tackles the com-
plex water issues gripping the
Southwest United States. To
learn more, visit www.Be-
yondTheMirage.org.
“The purpose of (“Beyond
the Mirage”) is to raise aware-
ness about southwest water is-
sues. We’re entering a new era
of water. We’ve already seen
the effects of drought in Cali-
fornia. It’s the ¿rst of a series
of new, big issues we face.
