Caught is a short documentary filmed in Sri Lanka that explores how building economies around recycling can inspire sustainable change in developing communities. Directed by Kevan Doyle, the film was featured in his TEDx talk after the organizer was so moved by its message, she insisted it be shared with the audience. Caught is a hopeful portrait of how local action can spark global impact—turning ocean waste into opportunity.

With a background directing two feature-length documentaries and an upcoming docuseries pilot set to film in Ghana this August, Kevan’s projects span continents and cultures—capturing stories that inspire change and deepen connection.
His recent film Caught, shot in Sri Lanka, explores how creating economies around recycling can drive sustainable behavior in developing countries. The film resonated so deeply that the organizer of a TEDx event invited Kevan to share it as part of his talk, amplifying its message to a wider audience.
Kevan’s career has been built through collaborations with mission-led brands across the globe. Whether directing in remote villages or crafting brand narratives in the field, he brings a refined visual style, deep empathy, and commitment to storytelling that moves people to care—and act.
So incredibly grateful to everyone who helped bring this film to life. Every person gave their time and talent freely because they believed in the project—and that means the world.
