Directed by Uzair Merchant, the film is produced by BKreativ Prods. in Canada and Kleos Entertainment Group in India, with VIBE anchoring the U.A.E. side of the partnership. VIBE’s addition as strategic partner will support the film’s push into international markets, covering distribution, partnerships and audience development alongside the production work already underway. The documentary looks at the human, environmental and economic toll of shrinking water resources, drawing on expert interviews and accounts from communities already living with water stress.
Rather than treating the subject purely as an environmental story, the filmmakers tie it to livelihoods, food security, migration, development, weaponization, corporatization and the future of ecosystems and communities. This is not a story about one country, one culture or one community. It is a story about humanity.” “‘Every Living Thing’ represents the kind of globally relevant storytelling that VIBE exists to champion,” added Kalya Mouquet, CEO of VIBE.
The goal, according to the filmmakers, is a wider “impact journey” that moves the film into classrooms, community programs and policy conversations alongside its festival and market run. The Toronto market bow marks the start of the film’s international sales and distribution push, with the producers seeking meetings with global buyers, sales agents, broadcasters, streaming platforms and impact-focused partners.
