Pt4: Plus 50 was born - a script set in a realistic future, striking out to paint a portrait of five families from different walks of life - and how each is affected by risens temperatures, water shortage, heightened storms and changed ocean currents.
Pt3: With that in mind, Wofford set out to tell a story...of what it WILL look like in our lifetime. What happens when today's hotly-debated environmental problems have come home to roost? What does that U.S./world, 50 years in the future, look like?
Pt2: Bothered, Wofford probed the group, attempting to check the reality that their faucets might soon be dry. They collectively turned a blind eye to environmentalism, and said something that haunted Wofford and inspired Plus 50: "It won't happen in my lifetime."
Pt1: Screenwriter Wade Wofford was at a dinner party during the biggest Atlanta drought in Georgia history. Lake Lanier, which provides drinking water to metro Atlanta, was 30 days from empty. And the topic of conversation at dinner was frustration..."Why can't we fill our pools?
@johnaugust There was a semi-recent S.Notes where @clmazin spoke very articulately about modern audiences, and their (gross) assumption that they get to participate in story creation (rather than just accept it). I wanna share it (in the wake of GoT hate). Which episode was it?
@movienation How does a writer-director of a small award-winning film request a review of our film? It's an ensemble drama with heart, in the camp of "The Big Chill": https://t.co/esJHYUWah0
@PresidentCuster I just saw your article in the Gazette. I'm a local filmmaker as well: https://t.co/qS2ZIcyMs1. Wanna come to our screenwriting workshop: https://t.co/dI2UCsOlAn. Great having a local network of peers. We're meeting Monday to workshop a new script.
@JSim07 Dear White People got so robbed at awards season that I'm still flabbergasted. I'm an indie filmmaker trying to get a powerful/diverse project into the hands of Participant Media. Any advice on someone there I could approach who won't slam the "unrepped" door in my face?
Amazon trying to get in the Game of Thrones market... but didn’t anyone mention that Peter Jackson has already made 15 hours of this series already? https://t.co/C35vnvPpB8
@NYGovCuomo Thanks so much for prioritizing the environment. I have an environmental screenplay, set partially in NYC, that I'm trying to get into the hands of environmentalists like yourself: https://t.co/3zE6NrYnqW
@algore I've been contacting your staff, but am reaching out here in hopes of reaching you directly. You've made powerful documentaries that have started a great dialogue for intellectuals (who watch docs). I want to speak to you about a narrative film that does the same.
