Malibu Theater™ invites creators from around the world to submit original 3-minute monologues or stories inspired by The Air We Breathe™. This global creative challenge explores the beauty, fragility, and urgency of the air that connects all people and all living beings. Artists, performers, storytellers, writers, and dreamers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. Works may explore themes of clean air, air pollution, environmental justice, memories of place, breath, hope, or the unseen threads that bind humanity. Selected pieces will be showcased by Malibu Theater™ and considered for future development or cinematic adaptation through Wind Chime Films™.
