"Sustainability?" Video by Young Filmmaker Finn DeWitt Takes Top Honors at International Film Festival

The Sustainability Laboratory is happy to announce that “Sustainability?” a video created by 12-year-old filmmaker Finn DeWitt, is the recipient of two awards in the MY HERO International Film Festival: 1st Place Middle School and the WOJ Youth Reporter Award (Middle School Documentary).

In his compelling video, Finn takes us through a time machine into two possible futures—each depicting the potential outcome of our choices today regarding climate change and our treatment of the planet. These alternate futures highlight the devastating consequences of inaction in contrast with the richer, greener environment we could sustain by changing our mindset and behaviors.

In creating the film, Finn was mentored by Dr. Michael Ben-Eli, founder of The Sustainability Laboratory.

Finn, and other winners of the MY HERO International Film Festival will be celebrated at the MY HERO Awards Ceremony on Saturday, November 16th in Santa Monica, beginning at 7pm PST. The ceremony will also be streamed on YouTube.
