Session ID#: 248133
Session Description:
Climate Science has had a starring role in numerous movies and television series, often with mixed results when it comes to both accuracy and levels of impact that will galvanize audiences to action. What is the secret to storytelling that can have both a purpose and a pow? Can you even make something entertaining and educational these days in a world awash with countless media platforms, streaming options, and siloed news sources? Acclaimed filmmaker/scientist Alex Rivest (Canary) is joined by renowned showrunner Danny O'Malley (Top Chef), Gretchen Palek (Head of Alternative Television at Blumhouse) and PBS Head of Content Geoff Daniels for a timely conversation on how climate science can tell its story better, stronger, and more effectively.
