I hope you enjoy it we're looking outside and there's a bunch of fog and stuff around the around the grass and in my house and just looking outside and like feeling that whoa the world has changed so much people aren't going outside because it's so hot every year it feels like it's getting hotter it's always hot in Miami big capitalism corporations that are polluting the oceans with all the oil Society is paying the consequences for that it feels like we're getting closer to the Sun Saturday practices last year was super hot especially on the turf and your feet feels like they're like burning a lot of mosquitoes will be attacking people like me and other people who I play with there'd be fine course probably more buildings they're polluting the air I like that that the technology upgraded but I don't like how nature will be dying a lot this is South Beach they crash everywhere there's graffiti everywhere I love Miami it's a good place to live but if it keeps getting too hot I really don't want to you know live in a place that's not really safe Miami is because it just feels like it's gonna look like a bird he's toast and we don't do anything it'd be so hot then everything my phone wildfires towards my dry out while my tryouts and the trees are sad they'll be natural disasters and thunderstorms almost every day these are tornadoes are more often than they should be the sea level is rising and the ocean water is hot the waters are rising they're going above sea level most areas in Miami are gonna be pretty flooded parts of Florida just might disappear and change forever um fresh water could change because more salt water will come in we won't be able to have drinkable water so the states will have to ship water to us so we can survive right now when it's high tide it's really high Mac is gonna look different for us I see Miami Beach kind of like Italy instead of streets we're going to have to have waterways and canals we'll be using gondolas foreign so I'm guessing in the future like there'll be no animals like yeah a lot of marine species will be extinct welcome funky Miami Beach Turtles fish big sea turtles are gonna have plastic in them in 2050 there would be more more plastic in the Ocean than fish there will be a bunch of trash in the ocean it will be so polluted people are still living and believing the concept that ignorance is bliss we're trying to be realistic nothing is balanced like no joke I don't think it there's a very bright future most people they're like oh it doesn't matter what's gonna happen now other people are gonna have to deal with it I'm gonna stop that before that actually happens once we get to 2050 I I hope that we you know kind of get over ourselves we're not the only ones here you know we care about other people we have a duty as a civilization to protect the basis of all life on Earth we can start by not throwing things on the floor or in the ocean and also recycle and reuse stuff foreign the sun is happy because people are using the solar panel if people learn how to do that then the world will look beautiful like how it used to look when God first made it birds and like animals in the Everglades and like the wildlife the smallest pieces of Plankton to the huge whales that's what I want to protect you see the lovely beaches and stuff like that everything looks nice and beautiful that's why everyone travels to Miami the Miami's a great City it's where I grew up it's my home I'm born here I've lived here I've lived in like the same neighborhood for all my life and to see it just like go to waste when we could have done something like hurts me I feel like we should um just straight up care about our planet it is a community-based work it is a community inspired work I basically held uh interviews with 37 um kids teens throughout Miami-Dade County I asked them to draw a a piece of art and these works of art became our storyboard these interviews became the narrative and so I worked closely with animator uh Brenna Verner and our composers afro beta to create an original score and and to create the animation that would then sort of Drive the film I think the the film really found it it voice through the conversations with these kids and I found this topic through those conversations that I was having with my kids so it's sort of like all developed from just a really pure and and you know honest place you know we want to make sure that the people that perhaps have power um are listening to these voices that are listening to these messages and they're looking at this artwork in some way um so this film is really about giving back to the community and hopefully um action hi my name is Elijah the armis I'm in 10th Grade and I am the editor of filmer

with or without a disability and you could do anything you put your mind to inspirational motivational and educational it started when I was racing for this team called thumbs up a group with physical disabilities and they complete Marathon chat lines and I had other athletes on the team so that's what inspired me to make this film um the highlight of my production was getting to know the athletes
