Future States
by Donna Schoenkopf
I stumbled across this website while reading this month's copy of Sierra magazine.
When I went to the site I found a fascinating series of short films made by the "hottest Indie filmmakers" around. Their films include subjects like a futuristic China that encourages its female workers to have their one child through surrogates and scientifically reduced time for pregnancy. Another film is about a plastic bag. The voice of the plastic bag is Werner Herzog. And then there is the film about an American family immigrating ILLEGALLY to another country to a "new land of opportunity." Eight films in all.

Oh. I just looked at the title again. Never mind.

Hey, Donna - I watched the one called The Rise and I’m not sure I get it. Is the reveal supposed to be [POSSIBLE SPOILER] that the oceans are rising and in four or five years the house will be underwater?
