VantageFilms CD Vasil Hnatiuk and Russian animation studio SuperFly team up to showcase the innovation and scalability of Ecovative’s pioneering work in the science of growing mycelium to replace plastics and other polluting materials.

Vasil Hnatiuk: “We worked closely with the marketing team at Ecovative to fully visualize their technology and how it can create a better world.

“Our biggest challenge was to explain to our audience how simple mushrooms can have such a big impact on our manufacturing and farming methods. The goal of this film is to inspire more companies to start using Ecovative’s biodegradable platform to build more eco-friendly products.

“After millions of years of evolution, the innate intelligence of fungi means we don’t need to micromanage their growth.

“By selecting the right strain and creating the right conditions, we can encourage mycelium into the exact forms we need. It’s a partnership forged in nature and refined to the benefit of the Earth.”
