THE MIDNIGHT SKY

It feels right to have a film about the end of the world be a cold thing, literally and figuratively. And so it is with THE MIDNIGHT SKY, a story set three decades or so in the future is an uncertain blend of personal regret with planetary destruction. Set both in the arctic and in… Read More »

Lorene Scafaria Is SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD

  Writer/director Lorene Scafaria started her writing career by using her talent to win free pizzas back when she was in grade school.
