On February 9, 2025, Dr. Jose Morey—CEO of Ad Astra Media and widely known as “Dr. Intergalactic”—took the stage at Kidscreen as part of PlanetEd Media’s debut in the new three-part Climate Literacy track.

Speaking during the session “A Brighter Future: Leveraging Kids Media for Climate Hope,” Dr. Morey introduced Eco-Música, Ad Astra Media’s animated short designed to inspire young audiences to take action for a healthier planet.

The session, led by Planet Media founder and Aspen Institute fellow Laura Schifter, outlined four foundational climate principles all children should understand as they grow, offering strategies for weaving these lessons into entertainment. Alongside fellow creators, Dr. Morey showcased how Eco-Música blends music, storytelling, and science to spark curiosity and hope, while addressing eco-anxiety among youth. Each featured project—including Eco-Música—was presented as part of PlanetEd Media’s effort to empower storytellers with tools like the new Storytellers Climate Toolkit, helping studios, educators, and media makers inspire the next generation of climate leaders.
