"I can't go on living like this." Powerful Curator feature on art and activism with Yellow Dot Managing Director Staci Roberts-Steele and The Broad, with a forward by Adam McKay "We’ll take a slice of life and spin it on its head. We put some extremes in it so that people can view it from a different angle. But what’s interesting is that it keeps catching up with us. Every time we do something crazy, it catches up." - Staci Roberts-Steele https://lnkd.in/ghS3V_7w

"There’s an old adage: disarm them with humor and then hit them with a gut punch in reality,” explains Ryan A Lough. “So that was one pretty constructed approach we took because it is a lot of heavy information. If we just have a bombardment of heavy information without any disarming humor, or without taking a step back and looking at it with a laugh, it just becomes too heavy. So humor was a big part of it. That’s why we cast Serra Naiman, who’s a brilliant comedy writer and performer, [as narrator]. Also, Adam, being a comedy writer, giving feedback on the writing was great. It was always centered around humor, satire, and being able to have people laugh while digesting the heavy information.”

“As horrific as this all is, it’s important that we create a culture around dealing with this epic, literally geological catastrophe we’re confronting with humor.” - Adam McKay, recognized by National Geographic in the 2025 #NatGeo33. https://lnkd.in/gJ9nJr_x

For your consideration: Give Big Oil Credit "This award season, Hollywood would be remiss not to recognize the work of the Oil & Gas industry: The disaster film they brought to life with the Los Angeles fires was a direct result of their knowledge and decades of lies about causing climate change." https://lnkd.in/gRu4HPad #givebigoilcredit #oscars #oscars2025

Fossil fuel companies like Chevron have been knowingly profiting off of the destruction of our livable climate for decades, to the tune of trillion of dollars. So when Chevron donates $1M to the victims of the Los Angeles wildfire, some might see it as nothing more than a cynical play to help erase Chevron's own role in causing this catastrophe. And they would be right!

In 2025, you're going to need to SCIENCE. So, you think you can? Last year, we premiered the first ever climate science comedy game show at Climate Week NYC. We're excited to announce more shows coming live to Los Angeles this Spring! Stay tuned for dates...
