Extinction Sucks: Sea Turtles
Sea turtles have swum the world’s oceans for over 100 million years – they are one of nature’s truly heroic survivors. However in just the last 200 years human intervention has had an appalling affect on turtle numbers: Feral pigs gorge on it’s eggs, plastic thrown into the oceans is eaten and destroys their digestive systems and stray fishing nets ensnare turtles, causing them to die a slow, agonising death. Conservation duo Aleisha Caruso and Ashleigh Young refuse to sit back and wait for sea turtles to be wiped out forever: They hold a turtle tennis fundraising event, in order to buy and deliver a quad bike for conservation teams in the far north of Queensland, who clear the nets and rubbish from the remote beaches of Cape York.

Just In Case
JUST IN CASE is a short animated film about the dangers of laziness. The consequences of a sedentary philosophy are depicted in vivid colors. Even if we can’t prove that global destruction is around the corner, we might as well do our best to prevent it, just in case. The voices for the characters are graciously and deftly provided by Sutton Foster and Fred Applegate – stars of the new Broadway musical of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. The film was created through a collage of 3D animation with guache paintings and pages from The New York Times.

America: Love It Or Fix It: The Economy
If we’re addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them.
