Yes DVD's are "stuff". If you're adverse to buying them, go for a digital option. But if you are keen have a physical DVD so you can watch all the special features and pass it around to a few friends, we won't stop you. We just got a new shipment of DVDs, and we're stoked that they have even less packaging than our previous version - this one doesn't open up, it's just a cardboard sleeve. Hope you like it!]]>
We're excited to announce that this August The Clean Bin Project will be heading to the UK for a 5 city film tour! It's a little known fact that Grant is a dual citizen; he was born in Brighton, England and moved to Canada as a kid in the 80's, so this feels like a bit of a homecoming. We are, appropriately, kicking off in Brighton.
If you are in the UK or know anyone who lives in England, let them know that we're on our way!
23 August – Brighton: The Brighthelm Centre. 6pm venue opening for 7pm film
27 August – Stowmarket, Suffolk: John Peel Centre for Creative Arts. 7:30pm
28 August – York: City Screen Picturehouse.
29 August – Shrewsbury, Shropshire: The Old Post Office. 7:00pm
30 August – Warminster, Wilsthire: Warminster Baptist Church Hall. 7pm
Details on our screenings page!
The Clean Bin Project was a zero waste challenge that became an award-winning documentary film (released in 2010, and now available on TV, itunes, and DVD)
Just Eat It is our current project on food waste. Please check out the official Just Eat It movie website at www.foodwastemovie.com.

Wahoo! Home DVDs of The Clean Bin Project are finally available!
In Canada, you can get them on Amazon.ca. Everywhere else, you can buy direct through our website.
We are happy to say that our DVDs come in a 100% recycled cardboard case printed with soy inks. The DVDs themselves are, of course, plastic, but at the end of their life you can always mail them back to us for recycling if you don't have facilities near you.
Digital downloads through itunes in Canada and coming soon for everywhere else.

Grant and I spent 2 weeks in New Zealand last month. We had a fantastic time at the Reel Earth Film Festival and were honoured to be the opening night film and then to win the Audience Choice Award. It's our 9th festival award and pretty fantastic end to our official festival run!Tickets are just $7. More information is at http://www.facebook.com/events/268651013218104/ If you miss opening night, never fear, The Clean Bin Project will be screening at 7pm and 9pm May 5-9th (we just won’t be there in person for those ones).
On Sunday May 6th, we’re excited to be part of the Seattle True Independent Film Festival which celebrates westcoast films that are truly independent (but still awesome!) Info is at http://www.trueindependent.org/
See you there!

We're excited to be back in Bend, Oregon for an encore screening. We visited a school this morning, and the kids had tons of great questions. We even signed a few autographs and talked to some aspiring filmmakers abotu which cameras we liked.
Honestly, this is one of our all time favorite towns. People are so nice, the buildings are lovely, and landscape is gorgeous. Add to that a great local culture of restaurants, sports, and entertainment, and we're pretty sure we'd be happy to live down here permenantly.
Earth week is coming up next week, so we'll be hitting Vancouver, Burnaby, and Vancouver Island with screenings. Hope to see you there!
]]>Obviously we can't be at every single event, but I've updated the calendar so now it's clear which screenings we will be at by the little * beside the title.
Stay tuned for Earth Month news!
]]>All events are free to the public and proceeds benefit Algalita Marine Research Foundation.
Hope you can make it!
