In this segment Darin*  takes a train ride. En route he passes a fully loaded oil train in the Auburn, WA train yard and pulls out his laptop to see what he can find out. 

Puppet PSA -- This is the first segment of a series of short 5-10 minute films exploring emergency preparedness in regards to the transport of oil-by-tail, from the perspective of first responders and health workers. Puppets make up a significant portion of the cast for this series, inspired by a series of puppet-psa's from the 1960's, put together by the Department of Civil Defense. 

This work is a continuation of my studies from the Evergreen State College program called Resource Rebels | Environmental Justice Movements Building Hope.

*Darin is also known as DD, a gifted skater in the world of Candy Teeth Creative. In this series he is an actor I hired, along with the rest of the puppet family.
