Miam based in Paris! Distribution takes “Trash!” By Darjeeling
Miam based in Paris! Distribution has the international distribution rights to “waste!” (“Ordures”), a live-action, stop-motion hybrid series told from the points of view of those annoying disposable items that sowed our planet, including used condoms, broken glasses frames, bottles and cans.
The series consists of four episodes of 13 minutes.
It is located on the street and sewers of Paris, it follows Gobi, a coffee cup for one -off use that is confronted with an existential crisis after it has been thrown away after just three minutes by “sweet” Marie. It was convinced that this was a mistake, it wants to find her, meet co-waste in his journey over a world of waste “where waste stacks high, self-esteem runs low and every step is a new disaster that waits”, according to the synopsis.
The dark bitter series, produced by Darjeeling and currently broadcast on Arte France, throws a striking spotlight on the global problem of mounting waste, asking: “What if it had a voice?”
“This acquisition reinforces the long -term and successful collaboration of Miam! Distribution with producer Darjeeling, a partnership that started with the establishment of Miam! In 2016 and has since delivered countless international successes,” said Mélanie Errea, head of sales and acquisitions at Miam! Distribution, which mentioned ‘Yeti Tales’, ‘Our summer of freedom’ and ‘Fail in Love’ under their earlier Darjeeling -Pickups.
“‘Waste!’ Gets on because of its distinctive hybrid graphic design and powerful stories.
Made by Géraldine de Margerie (“Call My Agent”) and Maxime Donzel (“Toutouyoutou”), it is directed by Venice Mostra-valued filmmaker Benjamin Nuel next to Kim Keukeleire whose credits “Chicken Run”, “Wallace & Gromit” and “Frankendeie”.
Said Marc Lustigman, executive producer and co-founder of Darjeeling: “The series went quickly online viral online and collected nearly two million views on Tiktok in less than 10 days.” Trash! ” Also represents a remarkable performance in securing unprecedented financing and collecting the support of numerous French institutions that are committed to environmental and sustainable initiatives (Alcup, Gestes Propres, Syctom and Refashion).
The French voice cast is led by Sébastien Chassagne, Romane Bohringer, Anaïde Rozam, Jenny Letellier and Ludovic Franceschet, the most famous sanitation worker in Paris, with more than 400,000 tap -followers.
