TUFF 2009 Honourable Mention: Urban Salvation by Maayke Schurer

Upon taking mental snapshots of scenery in and around the Toronto area, I have recreated the feelings that the landscapes have left in me by way of a unique filmmaking technique I have been developing. Everything from the clouds to the discarded bottles are recreated in miniature. It is my hope that by recreating such contemporary scenes an improved appreciation for our environmental presence might be achieved.

Part 3

Please spread the word and work on the cause. The 3rd Industrial Revolution has already been rotating for DECADES. Denial is for the senile and they are a dying species. It is our turn to not just churn discretely.

Part 2

I wish the plastics and other trash would instantly be changed into something we could always reuse in a continual cycle, never down-cycling, never floating in a body of water just waiting to be consumed BY YOU and 1 billion other dying species. I would like this video to have far more views than 200.
