Aqua Seafoam Shame to be screened at Burning Man 2013

FREE FILM SCREENING

 

From the critically acclaimed director of the Burning Man mini-doc "15 Minutes of Flame."  This project speaks to the Leave No Trace ethos.

 

This multi-nominated environmental documentary by 8 year Burner Veteran is available to view for FREE online as well as at a prestigious film festival near you.

 

Aqua Seafoam Shame is a critically acclaimed documentary with multiple nominations which explores the horrific diagnosis that 25% of our planet's surface is now garbage landfill, due to the pacific garbage patch and plastics. In 20 years our world could end up with no coral reefs - which means our oceans will revert back to the primordial sludge it was before creatures walked on land. What, if anything, can be done to backpedal the Earth from this cataclysmic trajectory?

Scary stats: 

  • 90% of the big fish in the sea and 20% of our coral reefs have gone extinct
  • 12% of our land is protected but less than 1% of our oceans are
  • 20 Billion pounds of plastic end up in the seas each year
  • 46,000 pieces of plastic are in every square mile of ocean 

One critic hails it as possibly the most important documentary ever made.

Aqua Seafoam Shame - Feature Film

Aqua Seafoam Shame is a documentary which explores the horrific diagnosis that 25% of our planet's surface is now garbage landfill, due to the pacific garbage patch and plastics. According to a 2012 New York Times article, in 20 years our world may no longer have any coral reefs - which means our oceans will revert back to the primordial sludge it was before creatures walked on land. What, if anything, can be done to backpedal the Earth from this cataclysmic trajectory?

AQUA SEAFOAM SHAME ~ Director's Cut
Directed by: iPhone Filmmaker Veronica Grey
The filmmakers could have gone the route of releasing the documentary only through "prestigious film festivals" but this elitist route would have been exactly that. Instead it is decided the message is too important to cater only to red carpet champagne premiers, that as a gift to our Mother Earth, it is hereby released ONLINE in its entirety for FREE to the masses.

Co-directors Kim Chiasson and Veronica Grey have never met in person or even felt the need to speak on the phone - collaborating their labor of love exclusively via email. Kim wears two hats as the editor as well. Along with executive producer Joshua JD Lemmens of Hope Studios.

We humbly present "Aqua Seafoam Shame"


YES that is a Nirvana lyric.
