The Challenge

The oceans are drowning in plastic, and the Black Sea is no exception. How do we spotlight this pressing issue in a way that captures both hearts and minds?

The Mission

Create a visually and emotionally compelling short documentary to follow two fearless windsurfers on a one-of-a-kind journey to traverse the 300-km stretch of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, raising awareness about plastic pollution.

The Vision

Showcase this daring expedition with not just breathtaking windsurfing feats, but also a story rich in research and exploration. The journey includes the wondrous marine life, insightful scientific research, and the passionate people leading the charge for change.

My Role

As the screenwriter, I crafted a narrative that married adventure with advocacy. I developed a storyline that highlighted not just the surfers, but also integrated the voices of marine biologists and the vibrant biodiversity they studied along the way.

The Impact

By personalizing the environmental crisis through the lens of this exhilarating journey, the documentary energized audiences to rethink their relationship with plastic. It positioned itself as a tool for awareness and sparked conversations about actionable solutions to heal our seas.
