Bold Idea in Movie-making Based on Hurricane Katrina Memoir

LOS ANGELES - July 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Author Paul Harris is reaching out to both the donor as well as the film production community to create a novel film that will place the viewer in the movie theatre in a unique perspective of feeling what it was like to sit in the actual Superdome during those tragic days. While part of the film will deal with the days leading up to the storm and the subsequent man-made flooding in the City, much of it will use real scenes as well as special effects to offer the movie going audience the most realistic recreation of those paralyzing, odoriferous, and hellish days and nights.

Harris is seeking funding though the website, http://www.gofundme.com/diaryfromthedome.

Once the movie is in production he will offer a spot as an extra or actor to anyone who contributes at least $50. towards the campaign, as well as an acknowledgement in the credits.

He hopes to use the local talents of New Orleans area residents as much as possible and to use non-traditional methods to realistically place the theatre audience within the confines of the Dome.

“Katrina opened my eyes further to the devastating power of fear, hysteria, and Groupthink in controlling our lives. It also brought out the best and worst in many folks, and makes one wonder how he or she might handle being in such a life or death situation. It’s important that after almost 10 years since Katrina people still need to learn more lessons about this devastating disaster and the personal psychological ramifications of it.”

The more funds that are raised the better the production value. We will make use of much local talent who have a passion for telling this story in a cost saving manner. If you want to get on board with your own film production talents to corroborate on this project contact us below or go to the gofundme page. 10% of all film profits will be given to charitable organizations such as Habitat For Humanity and Levees.org.
