Coastal Filter: Part of the Superorganism Collection

Welcome to the Superorganism Collection, a modern documentary series on realistic Kaiju; the first will be Coastal Filter, a visual story about how micro-plastic changes sea life.

Pitch: The plastic in ocean has become so miniscule, they enter sea life DNA. Now the world will witness what their junk has created.

Coastal Filter: The Manuscript

A nuclear submarine moves through the ocean. Some of its instruments display a map of the Great Barrier Reef. More of those instruments show an increase in current and waves due to a piece of the reef missing.

The submarine’s multiple rotors attempt to keep the vessel close to the area of disappearance. Suddenly the current stops.

The sub shines lights to investigate what occurred. Upon the lights shining upwards, there is a patch of plastics and dead fish. The sub eventually finds its destination where the missing reef piece is in place.

A picture of the reef before it disappeared however is compared to how it is now. Some of the coral are now in different places. Eventually, the plastics cover the area.

The hull of the sub is breached by an explosive force. Some of the systems go haywire from sudden seismic activity. The reef moves as if it was alive, causing the current to pick up.

The sub is blown off course by the sudden change in current. The crew inside try to stabilize the craft as some are crying out. The sub crashes onto what seems to be a coral bed.

What look like volcanic worms breach the sub’s hull. The worms release carbon dioxide causing the crew to panic and suffocate. Some of the worms find the nuclear missiles docked and begin to devour it.

A glowing mass of coral and worms move away from the wrecked remains of the submarine. As the creature moves so too does the current causing many fish colonies to be knocked away. Smaller coral masses collect the fish affected by the radiation.
