“The Krill is Gone” Trailer

See it at Laemmle’s Sunset 5 Theatre in Los Angeles on September 17-19, 2010

SYNOPSIS: A high-voltage comedy for the environment featuring a cast of fishy personalities voiced by SpongeBob’s Tom Kenny and his gifted wife, Jill Talley. As the story unfolds, we meet characters including: Emiliania Huxleyi, a Robin Leach-like plankton who is about to reveal startling new evidence on the menace of rising acidity in oceans; a shrill little krill who frets that she can’t grow another shell, when she’s not bemoaning the decline of the neighborhood since the jelly fish moved in, lured there by the toxic carbonic acid; a wise-cracking comic who cruelly jokes that the krill are losing their crunch; and a visiting celebrity named Al Ba Core, who looks and sounds suspiciously like a tuna on a mission (if only someone would listen).
