Welcome back to the Cause Cinema Spotlight. 3 projects. Under 10 minutes. This week, we have a couple strong docs, and one wildly inventive drama series, with a healthy dose of sci fi. Let’s start there. Mrs Davis After being ousted from her convent, Sister Simone vows to destroy the one responsible: a powerful artificial intelligence known as Mrs. Davis. To exact her revenge, Simone makes a deal with the algorithm and is thrust into a dangerous world of secret societies, religious conspiracies and age-old legends as she searches for the whereabouts of the most clichéd and overused MacGuffin -- the Holy Grail. To complete the ridiculous and farfetched task, Simone teams up with her rebellious ex-boyfriend, Wiley, who is now the leader of an underground resistance movement dedicated to stopping Mrs. Davis. Together they face a variety of mysterious and powerful forces as they search for the Grail, the one thing capable of destroying the algorithm once and for all.
Well, again you have chosen 3 productions that do not interest me at all. A nun searching for the Holy Grail, a long-extended date in Costa Rica, and a musician who doesn't know who the hell he is? How do any of these fit into "Cause Cinema" or, for that matter, Filmmaking For Change, Films That Transform the World. I just don't see it. I got into a heated debate with a veteran in the film industry who insisted there was no such thing as a film that could offer solutions to the world's problems. I told her I had made one. Then she changed her tune, well maybe you can show a problem and inspire people to take action to solve it, but you can't actually solve a problem by making a feature film. So, I decided to prove her wrong. The sequel will actually implement a solution to a problem as we make the film. That's what I call "real action,"
