Overview
Credits
Write a short summary of what happens in the film
Through the film, which tackles eco-responsibility with humor, our protagonist caricatures those who are always ready to give lessons, those who talk more than they act... Whereas with Greenweez, it’s never been so easy to consume better.
Man VS Otter features forest animals in their natural habitat, using archive footage so as not to disturb them, and stars French comedian Nicolas Méryeux. A committed environmentalist, known for his Youtube channel and his TV shorts, Habitons demain (Live Tomorrow).
Weeks of research were necessary for the documentary filmmakers to find scenes and reactions perfectly adapted to the comedy. We pushed the location scouting to the extreme so that the montage, composed of archival and filmed images, would be as credible as possible and give the impression that all the scenes were shot in the same place.
Cultural / Context information for the jury
In France we like… No, we love giving advice to everyone about anything. It’s something in our culture. We love telling people “this is how you should do it”, even if we don’t do it ourselves. So, we used that cultural insight to create this character. We pushed it to the extreme, having him go into the forest to criticize and dole out advice to animals. But he actually doesn’t help them at all. He just judges the way they live. So French. The real way to help the planet, if you really want to, is simple – you just need to go to Greenweez.com.
