#CleanBinProject
Is it possible to live completely waste free? In this multi-award winning, festival favourite, partners Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least garbage Their light-hearted competition is set against a darker examination of the problem waste. Even as Grant and Jen start to garner interest in their project, they struggle to find meaning in their minuscule influence on the large-scale environmental impacts of our “throw-away society”. Described as An Inconvenient Truth meets Super Size Me, The Clean Bin Project features laugh out loud moments, stop motion animations, and unforgettable imagery. Captivating interviews with renowned artist, Chris Jordan and TED Lecturer Captain Charles Moore, make this film a fun and inspiring call to individual action that speaks to crowds of all ages.
AWARDS
Friday, April 8, 2011 at 12:15PM Thanks to everyone who helped us get to Vail. We met lots of people, had a couple of great screenings, and won the Blue Sky Environmental Tribute Award!
The Clean Bin Project go to Vail Film Festival from Grant Baldwin Videography on Vimeo.
Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 02:43AM We are on our way!
Thanks so much to everyone who supported our fundraising campaign. We'll be sending your DVDs and downloads once we get home, and Grant will be sporting Andre's face on his shirt (that was the reward for a $200 donation) starting on Friday.
This will be the first time we screen our film to audiences that (potentially) know nothing about us. We're excited and a bit nervous to screen to a "new crowd". We've read lots about promoting films and having free giveaways like buttons, but in the end, we didn't feel that we could give out "stuff" for a film that is all about living with less "stuff". So we have settled for half size business cards, postcards with the screening info, and a few posters.
Wish us luck!
