Eddie Castillo’s Powerful Ocean Conservation Video Campaign

“We are the last generation that can save the oceans, and we are the first generation that must learn to live without them.” – Silvia Earle
By Altered State Productions
The Ocean Foundation has taken on a mission of critical importance: to save our dying oceans from the irreversible damage caused by human activity. With marine ecosystems teetering on the brink of collapse, the organization’s latest campaign aims to educate and inspire action through the power of storytelling.
Meet Eddie Castillo, Founder of Dallas production company Altered State Productions and media director who’s passionate about the ocean’s survival. His latest project with an ocean conservation organization takes viewers on an emotional journey, blending breathtaking aerial footage with a powerful stewardship message.
“It’s easy to become numb to the devastation happening around us”, says Castillo, “We scroll past images of environmental destruction, momentarily horrified, yet quickly moving on to the next distraction.” While other campaigns often depict the devastation—plastic, trash, turtles entangled in debris—the Last Generation campaign strives to remind us of the beauty we are at risk of losing forever. The brand video captures the ocean’s waves hitting the shore, smooth and therapeutic.
Castillo’s work, reminiscent of National Geographic’s Planet Possible, combines awe-inspiring visuals with a profound sense of responsibility for our planet. Using advanced drone technology, Castillo captured mesmerizing scenes of Hawaii’s North Shore, showcasing the pristine beauty of marine ecosystems under threat. These stunning visuals, paired with philosophical narrations by Alan Watts and a cascade of electronic synths, create a dreamlike quality that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy.
The Ocean Foundation’s storytelling hinges on compelling imagery, reminding us of our collective responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems. By raising awareness and inspiring change through the power of commercial video production, the project serves as a rallying cry for ocean literacy, species protection, and habitat preservation.
Altered State Productions proudly circulates its media campaign through syndicated sources, utilizing targeted messaging that hits viewers on a different level. “As a media production company, our mission is to create impactful messages that drive real change,” says Brian Medina, Communications Director at Altered State Productions. “We pour our hearts into every project, hoping to make a difference. We’ve successfully generated over a quarter billion dollars in attribution for brands and companies worldwide. If we can do that for profit, imagine what we can achieve for causes worth standing for.”
The media agency’s impressive portfolio includes over 96 nationally aired TV ad campaigns for brands like Jameson, Valyou, and OWN.
In one scene, two young children hold up a surfboard to protect themselves from an incoming wave, playing innocently as kids do. The scene cuts to a breathtaking timelapse of an iridescent coral reef, with aqua blue currents turning the rock. This moment signals that those two kids could be the last to witness such beauty, delivering the hard-hitting message of what we stand to lose—an ocean and all its wonder, and the chance to truly experience it.
In the end, we are faced with the undeniable truth that if we do not act, our children and their children may never know the oceans’ true splendor, leaving behind only a memory of what once was—a heartbreaking legacy of neglect, making the next generation, possibly the last generation.
Altered State Productions is a video production company and digital marketing agency, specializing in video editing services that propel brands with competitive advertising.

How To Contact Instagram Support in 2025 Through Email

Instagram has billions of users worldwide, making it one of the most popular social media platforms. However, with so many users, cases of losing access to their accounts, disabled ads, and policy violations are widespread. That’s why we decided to share how to contact Instagram Support in 2025 through email. The main hurdle for users is reaching out to Instagram’s support team via email. Previously, Instagram users used [email protected], but this email no longer works for support in 2025. Check out this article: How to Get Your Music Featured on Spotify Playlists in 2025
Here’s how to reach Instagram support via email or other means in 2025, broken down step by step.
Does Instagram Have an Email Support?
Many users search for Instagram’s official email to fix their issues, but Instagram no longer offers direct email support for general inquiries. The old [email protected] email is unmonitored and unresponsive.
Still, Instagram does have dedicated email addresses that you can try if your issue falls into one of those categories. These include media and press inquiries: [email protected]. [email protected]—Copyrights are for copyright and intellectual property disputes. [email protected]—Used at times for support but will not always respond. [email protected]—For business and advertisement-related inquiries. Check out this article Why Artists Should Submit Their Music Directly to Honk Magazine
Contact Instagram’s Help Center
Email support doesn’t work reliably, so going to Instagram’s Help Center at https://help.instagram.com is your best bet. Official forms to make inquiries in the following areas can be found here:
Account recovery (for hacked or disabled accounts)
Ad appeal requests
Policy violations
Impersonation issues
Technical bugs
To reach Instagram through the Help Center:
Visit https://help.instagram.com
Find the solution to your issue using the search bar
Complete a formal support request form if it’s needed
Contact Instagram through In-App Support
Instagram offers in-app support to contact for help. Here’s how:
Log on to Instagram. Open the app and visit your profile
Click on the top right three-line menu (☰)
Select Settings and Privacy.
Scroll down to Help and tap Report a Problem.
Provide details about your issue and submit the request.
This may be the quickest way to elicit a response from Instagram’s support team.
How to Appeal for a Disabled Instagram Account
If your account has been disabled, you won’t be able to log in. But you can appeal by completing an Instagram account recovery form instead:
Go to https://help.instagram.com/368191326593075
My Instagram Account Was Disabled Fine.
Enter your full name, email, and username, and explain why your account should be restored.
[NOTE: You may be asked to send a photo of yourself holding a verification code.]
Please wait for a response to your email (it could be several days or weeks).
Reach Instagram Support Via Social Media
Instagram lacks email support but responds on official social media handles. A lot of users have had success by contacting Instagram’s official accounts on Twitter and Facebook:
Twitter: @Instagram (Twitter generally deals well with customer complaints.)
Facebook: You can also message Instagram on its official Facebook page.
Instagram: If you haven’t another account, comment on their posts and tag them to get noticed.
A few users have suggested that commenting on Instagram’s official posts from another account is more likely to get you a response.
How to Contact Instagram for Ad Problems
If you receive disabled or rejected Instagram ads, you can appeal directly to the Facebook Business Manager.
You can visit https://www.facebook.com/business/help.
Select Get Support, then Ads.
Choose your problem (ad rejection, payment issues, etc.).
You fill out an appeal, and Instagram’s ad team reviews it.
If you have a business account and go through Facebook Business Manager, you can also have live chat support (this can also lead to a quicker response).
Be Careful Of Scams And Phishing Emails
Since most users are desperate to contact Instagram support, scammers benefit from it by sending fake emails. Here’s what to do to protect yourself:
Never respond to emails claiming to be from Instagram if you did not request these emails.
Pay close attention to the email address of the person contacting you. All legitimate Instagram emails will be from an address ending with @instagram. com or @facebook. com.
Avoid sharing sensitive details like passwords. Instagram will never send you an email asking for your password.
As of 2025, the email option to contact Instagram support is no longer the best choice. Instead, users should contact Instagram through the Help Center, in-app support, and social media.
However, the official portal provides the proper steps to take, and if your account has been disabled, the only way back is to fill out that form. If ads are your issue, using Facebook Business Manager is your best friend.
If Instagram doesn’t offer a resolution, these methods can give you a better chance of getting a solution to your Instagram-related issues. If your problems are resolved, please come back to this article and drop a comment on how you went about it. So other people will learn from it.
