Green Screens Presented by Rock The Earth: Chasing Ice @ Bonnaroo 2012 | Video - stupidDOPE.com
Imagine a lifestyle traveling from Italy to Nashville, TN (for Bonnaroo Music Festival) then onto Seattle, WA today followed by a red-eye to New York,NY tomorrow. Oh, then on a plane to London, England – all within a week. This is the extraordinary lifestyle of Jeff Orlowski, director of award winning movie Chasing Ice, after his film premiered and won the first of many awards at the Sundance Film Festival this past January. Journalists have claimed that this is the most important movie of the year. The awards and exposure keep coming as the film is not out yet (scheduled for release September or October of this year). Jeff’s fast moving life is more like a movie titled Chasing Airplanes. Fortunately, he has been doing this since the film brought new focus and attention to what is going on in the world in regards to the hot subject of climate change and its impact on all of us. What very few people know or understand, Jeff is filmmaker turned crusader/activist – a title he comfortably adapted to as this film attracts massive attention and skepticism worldwide. Our outdoor lifestyles are at risk while the battle of science and politics argue if climate change is even an issue. While the battle ensues, Jeff is franticly traveling the globe screening his movie which provides visual evidence that glaciers are melting at a rapidly fast pace. Everyone will experience a different journey during this film – it’s something you need to see for yourself. The film is a quest to capture video and photographic evidence over years in strategic regions of the world. Not only do you feel the story of climate change, you see it unfold with your own eyes. Jeff brilliantly created a film masterpiece without over the top statistics or long term scientific studies to understand climate change. Sometimes it’s the risky (life threatening as well) journey to untouched reaches of earth with still cameras and video cameras and capturing what others would never experience.
...The fortunate 600 fans who were able to see (and feel) Chasing Ice message along with those taking part in the Q & A at the Academy at Planet Roo this weekend will probably think differently about climate change. For one, the feature film was held in an incredibly cold air conditioned cinema tent where the temperature felt like you where part of the Chasing Ice “4D” production. Jeff made a funny reference to that in the introduction part of the Q & A. Last, during the Q & A Jeff provided us with tools and information to act now...All in all, the best thing you can do is support the movie when it comes out in the fall and take action each day with the little things that affect your carbon footprint.
