Wasteland The Movie

Welcome friends, to the blog for the new as-yet-shot documentary, Wasteland. I feel this blog will be a chance for us (directors Aaron Rosenbloom and Wes Meilandt) to share our experiences as we go off on our quest to shoot, edit and distribute our film on our own. We will be working with a little bit of equipment, money, resources, gasoline and connections, but a lot of burning desire to tell an important story.

Our film will be about the way the citizens of this country consume and then throw away what they do not want. We will talk to average families, garbage men, political leaders, environmentalists, authors, professors and experts on all topics relevant to our film.

We will also be premiering clips of the footage we shoot here on the blog, and will want your feedback, since this film will ultimately be for you. Hopefully it will be as fun to watch as I am sure it will be to shoot.

Aaron

Great blog! I think it’s great that you’re making a film about consumption and waste disposal. I’ll definitely be checking out future posts and I’m also quite interested in checking out the books listed in you reading list. As you know, there is growing awareness on issues surrounding garbage. More and more people are taking action and exploring the issue via video, photography etc. I thought that you might be interested checking out: http://citizen.nfb.ca/onf/info?did=2481. It’s got films, photos, articles and a blog exploring all things trash including freeganism, the movement to reduce the amount of garbage we produce and the making of art and other objects from trash.
In the meantime all the very best with your film. I plan to follow its progress on your blog and I’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s done!
