A group of talented writers is pitching Hollywood on climate change stories, amplifying the urgent message of environmental stewardship through the power of cinema. Their project, "Boiling Point," aims to leverage the influential platform of film to engage audiences worldwide in critical conversations about the climate crisis. The plan here is to ignite empathy, spark action, and inspire change.
Through compelling narratives and captivating characters, "Boiling Point" is meant to bridge the gap between science and society, conveying the profound impact of climate change on our planet and its inhabitants. By weaving together elements of drama, adventure, and human resilience, they aim to galvanize audiences to confront the reality of our changing world and embrace solutions for a sustainable future.
“We were hoping for scripts that addressed what we see as aspirational values in the age of climate,” said Heather Fipps, one of the summit’s co-founders. “This could be Indigenous LandBack stories. This could be ocean conservation. We’re looking for things that are not just apocalyptic or eco-terrorism-focused. We want to avoid the tropes of what we consider a climate story.”
