Eden was CALM Co's first short film in our creative agency's first year. We had just bought our first cinema camera and tested it out by filming Longing for Eden. Production took place in the summer of 2018.

-Just 10 rivers across Africa and Asia carry 90% of the plastic that ends up in our oceans.
-Along the South African coast, there are over 3,000 plastic particles every square kilometer. -Over 1 million tons of plastic are thrown away in South Africa every year. -Approximately 500 shipping containers of waste is dumped in Africa every month. -In the last study, only 10% of all trash produced in Africa was recycled. -An immeasurable number of towns across the continent have no official waste collection service, meaning there is nowhere for litter to go. (source: africanimpact.com) 'Longing For Eden' is a sci-fi adventure about an imagined future experience of two African sisters, inspired by the current reality of the state of the plastic waste epidemic not just in Africa but around the world. The CALM team hopes to bring light to the realities of our world in imaginative and diverse ways through their storytelling. |
