In honor of Earth Day, the producers of The Cove worked with celebrities from film, television and music to put together a PSA spreading the word about what is going on and what individuals can do to help. Producer Fisher Stevens was able to reach out to friends and fans of the film, including Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Jason Mraz, Hayden Panettiere, Naomi Watts and Robin Williams.

We had a chance to talk to Andres Useche, the director of the PSA about his work on the project and what everyone involved with The Cove hopes that the film can achieve. Here's our interview:

In addition to the web-based PSA, TakePart.com/TheCove is also working on a broader web campaign to get the word out. TakePart has a Call2Action widget available that can be embedded onto Facebook page and blogs. The widget contains the PSA and links to petitions and additional information about the film and its causes.
