A lonely shark finds a can of shark fin soup and an unconventional use for it. Made in collaboration with PangeaSeed, The Shark And The Can was written and directed by Yoram Benz to raise awareness on shark fining and its devastating consequence on shark populations. One eyed Robot was given carte blanche in conceptualizing the story story and the film’s goal was to bring an emotional aspect to the sharks’ plight, without relying solely on statistics as well as give a voice to the victims of this devastating practice.
