A buzz was felt and a notification popped up ."Short film making competition organised by the Department of Community Science. Theme-Climate change"
"Hmm,Interesting",I thought to myself
Another buzz and another notification.This one got me jumping high, giggling and running around. "Bow Bow, would you like to be a part of my team for the short film competition?" "Yes, yes" I texted back.
And so it happened.Him, me and two more of our friends had registered our names for the competition.The Community Park was where we headed to. Was it a good spot for our film? The dying Autumn leaves on one edge, while the yellowish green evergreens on the other provided the contrast that we needed for our film.The little birds and the brown fluffy indie dogs became our unofficial team mates and added vigor to our film.And of course the playful children over there,who had just completed their running race, joined us eagerly and were curious about the concept of Climate change.The day had passed, and we were satisfied with what we had created. I sat down on the grass, gulping down fresh water and thought to myself, "Climate change? What would it be like if we, humans, didn't take any actions towards it?
The snowy mountains, the peak of Mt.Everest piercing the clouds, the mighty Penguins waddling and waddling their way across the icelands, the endless mesmerising blues of the horizons splashed with a tinge of orange by the Sun, the existence and then the disappearance of such a reality sent a wave of frustration throughout my body. Every atom in my body bombarded against one another as if they were trying to yell, "No we cannot lose what we have".
"Bow,Bow?", he called out, interrupting my thoughts."Hey, you look lost there, all good?" he asked.
I replied "Yup, thank you.I have a question for you.Why did u choose climate change? Since when has it mattered to you? The more and more I read your script,the more obvious it had become to me that you weren't in this competition for the fun of it.You were here to convey a story, a story that is loud and clear to whoever is listening, to whoever can get their asses up and run alongside you in this challenge.
