What if the things you buy carried the essence of your choices? A comb, a USB cable, a pencil-what if they told a story? In Rewind, Nortaggin Film Productions invites you on a journey through the eyes of a seemingly insignificant electric fan, brought to life after being plucked from a store shelf. Narrated by Evan Siever, this fan’s story begins with joy and purpose, offering comfort to its owner. Yet, its fate-like so many objects-is to be replaced, discarded, and forgotten. Again and again, new fans come and go, each one facing the same inevitable end.
Yet when the cycle of waste becomes unbearable, both for the fan and its owner, a moment of crisis brings transformation. Financial strain forces the owner to pause, to repair rather than replace, and in that small, deliberate act, a fan is reborn. This single moment of care becomes a
symbol of hope-a shift from mindless consumption to thoughtful sustainability.
The film’s narrative expands, weaving in the life of a secondary character: an ordinary passerby, a quiet advocate for public transport and environmental stewardship. Their stories merge, illustrating the profound impact of individual actions in the broader movement toward a circular economy and the role of technology in driving sustainability.
Rewind is a poetic reflection on the consequences of our throwaway culture and the potential for change. It gently reminds us that even the smallest steps-like repairing an old fan-can ripple out, inspiring others to do the same. Together, these small acts of care offer a glimpse of a future where the earth is lush with trees, not littered with waste, and where the choices we make today blossom into hope for generations to come.
