One only has to follow the news — Global Warming, Disaster Capitalism, Trump, Bullying, #MeToo, Ageism, Sexism, Racism, a Country Divided and Shrinking Middle Class — to see the consequences of a predatory society. STORMCHASER aims to explore these inflammatory issues by looking at both the noble ambitions and dog-eat-dog urges that make people so damn complicated, asking: How do we stop the storm of violence in our culture where we’re all complicit — even when we’re oppressed by forces that seem so much larger than ourselves? STORMCHASER has been selected by 45 festivals to date, and has won multiple Best Director, Best Short Film/Pilot, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Acting/Best Ensemble Cast, Best VFX and Best Original Score Awards.

Also, Nic Faitos founder of Starbright Floral Design shares information about an event he is involved with to benefit Fashion Fights Cancer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
