The environment, a serious but often ignored issue, until recently. These facts laid the foundation for a very challenging 2D animation project by attempting to force the viewer to consider, by presenting an extreme scenario, ‘How_Far..?’ and for how long will we continue to blindly consume, and abuse our environment.
May this piece be instrumental in advocating an international stand to actively address the current heated debate concerning Global Warning and other Environmental Changes.
