Dear John,

Earlier this year, we challenged filmmakers to create 60-second films depicting their vision of a plastic-free future for our “Independence from Plastic” film contest. We received a wide array of film submissions from across the globe which all put in the work to make sustainable, beautiful, and plastic-free micro films.

This contest was made possible with the generous support of the following: Judd Apatow, Hollywood, Health & Society, Johnson Ohana Foundation, Mazursky Family Foundation, and Yarkin Family.

WATCH THE WINNING FILM

After careful consideration from our expert and notable judges, we are thrilled to announce our grand prize winning film:

“Do you want to see a life without plastic?”
by Lorna Santiago

“Intergenerational impact is evident, shifting baselines of what is normal is well conveyed. A time before plastics shows the solution as a lived reality.”
- Asher Jay - Artist, Designer, Conservationist 

“Well thought out, cinematically pleasing,
very informative.”
- Maria Sten - Writer, Actor (Reacher, Swamp Thing)

“I really appreciated this film's point of view and chosen facts to highlight throughout the film. The visuals were also beautiful which held my attention and was
emotionally evocative.”

The winning film will receive $3,000, courtesy of our generous sponsors, with their film shared across our partners' social channels. To learn more about this contest and see all top five films, read our blog.
