35,000 Square Feet and Rising

As part of one of our key projects, the Boston Building Emissions Performance Standard, we collaborated with local Boston artists to produce a script and animations about the key issues related to the BERDO (Boston’s Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance), informed by the experience of community members. 35,000 Square Feet And Rising is a 4-part climate justice animated series.

Script by Vatic Kuumba. Animation by María Fong + Lily Xie.
Director/ Production by Shey Rivera. Sound Design by Nicholas Sollecito.

Commissioned by One Square World with support from Climate Boston and the National Resources Defence Council (NRDC), in partnership with Alternatives for Community and Environment (ACE), Chinese Progressive Association of Boston (CPA), City Life Vida Urbana, New England United for Justice, and Right to the City of Boston. March 2021.
