Lost & (Puget) Sound

Lost & (Puget) Sound is an environmental film about human impact on the Puget Sound Watershed. The film follows three West Seattle teens who lose a key down a storm drain. Not wanting to get in trouble, they embark on a quest to recover the key and find themselves on a journey of discovery about stormwater pollution in Puget Sound. 

Lost & (Puget) Sound was developed as a part of a middle school environmental curriculum and multi-media learning kit for implementation in Washington State schools. The film has been used as a standalone teaching tool and as a part of the learning kit to add local connections to several common elementary and middle school science modules including Landforms, Land and Water, Ecosystems, Solutions & Pollution and provides applied context for Salmon in the Schools. Inye collaborated with stormwater outreach professionals and science educators from multiple school districts to draft an outline of learning principles for the project. From this outline he developed and wrote the screenplay. 

Lost & (Puget) Sound was funded by a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology. It was commissioned by Seattle Public Utilities, written and produced by Inye Wokoma, and directed by Bogdan Darev. Director of Photography, Connor Hair. Edited by Brendan Flynn.
