#76. When the World’s on Fire – James Clauer
His unforgettable, unclassifiable and somewhat off-putting (the animal cruelty aspect) 13-minute short (The Aluminum Fowl) travelled from Park City to Rotterdam and made a splash on the Croisette back in 2006. I’m looking forward to what kind of world James Clauer (see pic above) is looking to explore and the visual treatment of his text with his feature debut, which is backed by those who produced by the same folk who backed Michael Tully’s Septien (Sundance – 2011). What we do know is that we think that this might have been based on a 2007 short film and besides that — nada. Look for When the World’s on Fire to be a strong contender for the New Frontier sidebar.
Gist: Coming soon.
Producers: Brent Stewart, Ryan Zacarias and Brooke Bernard (all on Septien) with John Maringouin (Big River Man)
