John Wilson approaches filmmaking with both a childlike wonder and the deep understanding of a seasoned thinker. His work builds on the style of Agnès Varda, exploring the connection between the small details of life and the larger world, as well as the personal and the public. While it’s presented as a playful critique of Hallmark movies, it’s actually, much like Varda’s The Gleaners and I, a thoughtful look at how we understand ourselves and our communities through everyday, often ignored things. In this case, that ‘thing’ is plastic – the second most used material on Earth.
