Remember that short film we spoke about a few weeks ago, that was done by our designers and screened at ?

Well here it is! "From Jeans to Joy" was a Finalist in this year's Green Screen Environmental Film Festival's, Very Short Shorts Mobile Film Competition.

Produced by the design team behind our "Temple Threads" section, the film not only features the costume but more importantly
highlights that:

"A simple pair of jeans hides a heavy truth. It takes nearly 10,000 liters of water to produce just one pair—enough to keep a person hydrated for 13 years!"

But in 2026, those discarded jeans are becoming something extraordinary—the costumes in their section. Fabric that once symbolized waste is being reimagined into vibrant expressions of culture.

Congrats .metheus._ and .a.designs.tt
