"BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND THE ROOSTER'S CROW focuses on EnCana's development of a heavy crude oil pipeline from the Amazon across the earthquake-prone Andes to the Pacific coast for export... Ultimately, BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND THE ROOSTER'S CROW is a revealing case study of the troubling connections between multinational corporations, insatiable Western consumption patterns, and the resultant devastation wrought on the social, economic, and environmental conditions of foreign countries and populations." (http://www.frif.com/new2005/bet.html)

"Nadja Drost is a feisty, intelligent storyteller with a good eye and ear. She mucks through covered-up oil spills, tries to peer into EnCana's operations and finds terrific on-camera subjects - grizzled men and fierce, defiant women - to humanize this story of corruption and destruction. Clear and concise... Emotionally moving and politically rousing!" - Now Magazine

Thanks to Julia Chan for the doing workshop on Script Reading on September 18th! The Basic Screenwriting Workshop on September 25th was a success as well, thanks to all who attended each.

Discussion Group

A good way of getting in touch with a lot of people in the collective at once if you have a film to screen, or if you want to do a workshop. Also good for getting help with filmmaking questions.
