Fish For Thought




Rodney "Rodrigo" McCoubrey is being featured in a documentary about a project he put together called Fish For Thought.  It is a program that teaches kids to make art from trash.  We featured him for the beacons beach cleanup and showed some of his work. This promo video shows what the kids did at Del Mar Hills Elementary. In this unprecedented assembly the kids made over 300 fish with the help of the teachers, parents and of course Rodney. Each child was asked to collect trash and bring it in for his/her fish.  Check it out and take a look for yourself. It was inspiring to say the least.

As a film making fan I must acknowledge Jon Cofinas for his efforts on this piece. I met Jon at the beach cleanup and was especially impressed when I saw his work. Jon has had the fun job of following Rodney around and gathering some amazing footage.  I can't wait to see the final film.

If you are interested is seeing the final unveiling of all 300 plus fish, go to Del Mar Beach May 30th for the unveiling. For more information contact Rodney Here.
