EP. 1766: Filmmaker Kevan Doyle (CAUGHT)

CAUGHT, 8min., USA Directed by Kevan Doyle Caught is a short documentary filmed in Sri Lanka that explores how building economies around recycling can inspire sustainable change in developing communities. Directed by Kevan Doyle, the film was featured in his TEDx talk after the organizer was so moved by its message, she insisted it be shared with the audience. Caught is a hopeful portrait of how local action can spark global impact—turning ocean waste into opportunity. https://www.kevandoyle.com/caught Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I was really motivated to create something I genuinely cared about. I grew up by the ocean, so the environment has always been a big part of my life. This film felt like an opportunity to highlight a real solution, showing how one organization is tackling the climate crisis in a meaningful way, especially in developing countries. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? The project came together over a few months. I spent about a week shooting in Sri Lanka, and then around three months in post-production shaping the story. How would you describe your film in two words!? Inspiring change. ——- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
