Charming animated journey of a seal and a penguin from New Zealand to Antarctica.

Antarctic - Little Animal

Trippy musical journey into humankind's relationship with the natural world with glimpses of a futureharmonious utopia. Words of wisdom by Kuauthli VasquezHikuru chant from a member of the Wixarika tribe Director's Statement:I'm a creative mastermind (self-titled) and a part time visionary.

Back to Nature

A Kashmiri man quits his job and embarks on a journey to become a shepherd. Six years later, he starts the Pashmina Goat Project – an NGO to protect the Changpa community and their goats from the harsh implications of climate change in Ladakh. Director's Statement:As urban India grows rapidly, the need has come for us to redefine the footprint of our jobs on the environment. But to swim against the current is not easy, especially in a society where money and status are given great value. Babar gave up a stable career in technology to protect a community and their animals from climate change. This is a drastic and heroic act. I wish for this film to provide a sense of hope, encouragement and solace to our young viewers who will need to safeguard the wild for future generations.

The Call of Pashmina

A witty animated short of a mischieveous polar bear interviewing random eccentric North Pole characters about their views on climate change with varying results. Winner of the PhilaEnviroFilmFest 2020 BEST ANIMATED SHORT AWARD. Director's Statement:It’s a waste to constrain ourselves to reality. By distancing himself, taking a bird’s-eye view, Dijkstra is able to shed new light on contemporary discussions, like the climate change debate. He prefers his work short and rough-and-ready.

Electrifying India

The moving story of a man who escaped Agbogbloshie, Ghana, one of the most toxic places in the world with Africa's largest electronic waste dump, and his fight to try and empower two young boys to do the same. Winner of the PhilaEnviroFilmFest 2020 BEST SHORT AWARD, over 6 minutes. Director's Statement:I want to challenge the way the subject of electronic waste is spoken about and I hope by touching the audience with a personal story we will inspire action for the injustice that this practice of dumping electronic waste causes to innocent people and the environment in developing countries. We also plan to fundraise with this film to help Abdallah’s NGO get more children out of the environment and into education, because as Abdallah states, education is the only real way to stop a slum from existing and to offer a change for the future.
