In this episode I interview twenty-eight-year-old, Brooklyn-based filmmaker Ace Salisbury. He says he was taking a shower (because that’s where all great ideas originate) when he was struck with a mental image of Manhattan surrounded by gaping canyons instead of rivers. Barren, dried up, this was a New York City with no access to drinkable water. He ran with this thought experiment. This wasn’t a zombie takeover, or a war with an invading alien species. To him, the answer was much darker because it was a human cause - in fact the cause of this imagined apocalypse was something very real: fracking.
This became the seed of Everything’s OK, a “cardboard punk” epic web series that is a wild, surreal, zany, hilarious, inventive, disturbing live action/animation sci fi hybrid, and mades its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016!
