Future Weather Update: Help Fund An Amazing Film!

So as I mentioned before the locally produced eco-concious film, Future Weather has been selected to premiere at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival this year. The film has been gathering so much buzz that the screening sold out in only 4 hours! In addition to the screening there will also be a panel with stars Amy Madigan, Lili Taylor, and Perla Haney-Jardine.

Although this innovative film has been accepted into the festival, they need the community's help to raise money to offset some post production costs including among other things festival travel, posters, and a website. Future Weather featured the greener side of the Philadelphia area something rarely seen in modern films which mainly focus on the big city. Lets help this film get off the ground so that the others can see even the smallest stories can have a big impact.

Future Weather World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival

Back in summer 2010, the independent film, Future Weather filmed around the Philadelphia area. Now the film is being released and premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 29. This film introduced a new and innovative production process as it was a green set and revolved around bettering the environment.

I reported on the film several times back in August 2010 and was invited to the set on a few occasions. It was a very pleasant experience and very interesting to see how a green set works. If you would like to read the report I made back in 2010 check here.

Future Weather was written, directed, and produced by Jenny Deller and produced by Kristin Fairweather. The film stars Lili Taylor, Amy Madigan, and newcomer Perla Haney Jardine. The film is a coming of age story about the relationship of a young girl and her grandmom after her mom leaves her. It tells their story and how they begin to relate to each other during a troubling time in their lives.

Finally More Filming in Philaddelphia! - Future Weather

So finally more filming comes to Philadelphia. The film is far from big budget, which in this case is a good thing as the entire production is going green. The movie, entitled Future Weather and it focuses on a 13 year old named Laduree that is obsessed with science and trees because she believes she can save the world from global warming. Laduree takes refuge in nature while her mother abandons her to pursue her dreams. The film is character driven and connects three generations of women as they face the hurdles of finding themselves during various times of their lives.

Future Weather begins shooting today (Monday) and will be in the Philadelphia area for five weeks. The film stars Lili Taylor (Six Feet Under and Say Anything) and Amy Madigan (Field of Dreams) as well as newcomer 13-year-old Perla Haney-Jardine. The producer of the film, Kristin Fairweather and writer/director Jenny Deller have teamed up with local businesses to create a green film set with organic and locally sourced food and they are also trying to utilize reusable and renewable products to maintain a green set.

When I have the chance and I find out a filming location, I would be more than happy to visit the set and find out more about the project. I am personally especially excited for this project as I am very enviromentally conscious. With some hope, this film might actually make Philadelphia and its residents more aware of their carbon footprint.
