Green Screen

Green Screen Trailer

For my art show this week I attended the Green Screen 2011 Earth Day premier. My close friend Clare Edwards is a film/media studies major here and for this class made an environmentally conscious film  with three other people in her class called "Life of the Party".

This film was in the style of the MTV and VHI shows we all have come to know and love, where 3 contestants are brought in from 3 different life styles to enter a competition. This competition was who could be the Life of the Party. The three contestants were a sorority girl named Tiff, a DJ named DJ Crucial, and the token asshole named Jeff.  The film looked at each character's life in terms of how much the way they partied affected the environment.

Tiff talked about how she was the social chair of her sorority. She was constantly using fliers and other means of wasteful advertisement to promote the sorority, as well as wasting energy using plastic cups and bottles of liquor. DJ Crucial was constantly spinning music sets with strobe lights and three different decks of turn tables that wasted a lot of excess energy. The asshole basically just threw a ton of parties with red cups and beer cans, all of which waste a lot of energy.

The movie sent a good message about everyone trying to compete to be the life of the party in Isla Vista and not being responsible for their energy waste and trash. The film premier on the whole had very interesting takes on environmentalism in our community.
