On the heels of the #HollywoodClimateSummit, I’m honored my script, “Me and Ma’ii,” made the quarter-finals in #TheGoldenScriptCompetition!
This #ShortFilm explores the love we have for animals, the tension between urbanization and nature, and the connection to all life on Planet Earth that we must cultivate in order to survive the impending climate emergency.
Congrats to all the quarter-finalists, and here's to more #ClimateStorytelling !

💯 “We've got to understand #biodiversity in a more sophisticated way. We've got to understand biodiversity as intrinsically intertwined with our entire global #economy. Whether as a #narrative, dramatic #storyteller or within the context of trying to help talk about biodiversity in ways that illuminate it, I think a lot of it is just narrative.” - Ed Norton https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live/2023/03/29/scott-z-burns-edward-norton-new-climate-drama-extrapolations/ #climatecommunication #climatestorytelling

A new Spanish #film explores the growing tensions between rural dwellers and #RenewableEnergy infrastructure. Looking forward to seeing Carla Simón's "Alcarràs."

“I say when like disaster hasn’t come, isn’t already growing in the yard. Do I
have to run through the list? The firefighter prisoners–my friends’ islands
slowly swallowed–war in my faucet, remember? Syrian Civil War is the name
of a drought. The name of this hurricane is Exxon, Exxon, I shout.”
