After being involved in stage and television for a few decades, Joel has recently begun to shift attention into film. The shift is a significant one, as especially the theatrical roots run deep — having served on the board of two not-for-profit arts organizations (serving primarily theatre), and engaging in scores of productions, both performing and directing.
The script for this project won the 2018 Mid America Filmmaker scriptwriter’s contest. For this contest, we had to draw a random film genre and general location. My draws were “disaster movie” and “sporting event.” I decided to give it a bit of a twist and make the disaster itself the sporting event. Hope you enjoy it!
