Скачать или смотреть Life of a Pellet

"Life of a Pellet" is a stop motion short film exploring pre-production plastic pellet pollution. Made entirely of plastic trash and real plastic pellets, "Life of a Pellet' tells the tale of Peter the Pellet who is excited to become a useful plastic item in the world but gets lost outside a production factory. Peter is washed into a storm drain, floats down the Humber River and ends up in Lake Ontario. This film was made in memory of Micah Messent and Danielle Moore as part of the Eco-Action Accelerator Grant by Ocean Wise, funded in part by Canada Service Corps, a national movement that empowers youth aged 15–30 to gain experience and build important skills while giving back to their community.
