FIVE-STAR TODD

The Last Days of Five-Star Todd: a 75-minute documentary, tells the compelling story of the Five-Star Todd (Todd Bank) and his 30-year dream to change the world with his original art, inventions and sports. Filming for this movie began in the 1990s and finished in late 2026.

Documentary Description: Spanning three decades of grassroots activism in Ventura and LA County, Clean The Earth Productions’ feature documentary chronicles one individual's relentless mission to spark a systemic shift from fossil fuels and landfills toward electric mobility and upcycling. The film spotlights Five-Star Todd, the international inventor of handheld battery-swap technology and the pioneer of "Landfill Mitigation Art"—a provocative practice that transforms material waste into exotic installations to radically alter how communities perceive human consumption.
