Experiencing Interruptions?

DESIGNED TO FAIL

An interview with discarded objects, this Public Service Announcement addresses the global urgency of climate change with a specific focus on Planned Obsolescence. A lot of my life has been dedicated to raising awareness of environmental issues, educating future generations and taking action, small and large to create change. I am the block captain for my street in south philly, my husband and I pick up trash every weekend on our block, I am a member of The Mural Arts Program: Trash Academy group and I used to be the lead teaching artist for the A20 (Arts and Artists Outdoors Program) and Students for Environmental Action. This short film is inspired by The Brave Little Toaster, Creature Comforts, and Wallace and Gromit.
