Synopsis
A pithy critique on society's commercialization and commodification of water, its end goals abetted by an utter disregard for the future, both near or far.

Production notes
This film was made as part of the first edition of the NFB's Hothouse apprenticeship.
A mixed-media whirlwind of hyperactive animated collage.
Take six promising animation filmmakers from across Canada, plant them in the NFB's English Animation Studio, give them 12 weeks to create extremely short animation from concept to release with the full support and assistance of NFB creative experts and, voilà, the NFB Animation Hothouse! This is a practical prototype to both "talk the talk" of theory, and "walk the walk" of actually doing it.
