Beyond The Pole
Thursday is the Green Revolution day at the D.C. Independent Film Festival.
Beyond the Pole will be screening at the U.S. Navy Memorial Heritage Center, Burke Theater, 701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.
The film features two friends as they attempt to make an organic, carbon-neutral, vegetarian trip to the North Pole in hopes of getting into the Guinness Book of Records.
You know, just like the goal you had last year.
As expected, things don’t run as smoothly as planned, but maybe that’s what draws in an audience.
“The comedy route gets more traction. If you have a point of view and send yourself up a bit, you draw people in,” director David L. Williams told Reuters.
“We are not being a doctor saying you have to do a list of things — one to 10. We are trying to reach an audience that is not inherently green-minded and somehow make an emotional connection.”
Will Beyond the Pole have you in stitches as you leave the theatre with a greener mindset?
