From Cumberbatch in a (hot) cold sweat to Colman getting oily, this film continues a series of brilliant ads for Make My Money Matter from Mother, the movement founded by filmmaker/activist Richard Curtis.
Directed by Ben Strebel through Biscuit Filmworks, Beep is set in a garden centre where oblivious plant lovers purchase the green things they love via banks that are literally fuelling climate harm by financing fossil fuel companies.
Curtis’s group aims to call out UK high-street banks – Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, Santander, and NatWest – for financing new fossil fuels. It hopes the film will prompt individuals and businesses to switch to fossil-free banks such as Nationwide, Starling or Triodos Bank.
This year unprecedented wildfires caused death and destruction in California (the effects of which were worsened by climate change according to scientists), and 2024 was the hottest on record – the first with an average temperature exceeding 1.5C above pre-industrial levels – the threshold set by the 2016 Paris Agreement.
Ben Strebel commented: “With everything that’s happening in the world at the moment, there’s little more important than facing up to the climate crisis. Our latest film for Make My Money Matter brings some much-needed urgency to the conversation around the funding of fossil fuel companies, and the way they are destroying our planet. As a dad, I think this message is really about protecting the world for the younger generations and striving to inspire significant action, NOW.”
