"Humorous take on a serious issue – A BRILLIANT FILM!" - CINESOURCE
"An exceedingly clever vehicle for making science engaging to a general audience." - VARIETY
"An excellent, thoughtful comedy." - THE NEW SCIENTIST
UA’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences is sponsoring this special presentation of SIZZLE: A GLOBAL WARMING COMEDY, followed by a Q&A with writer-director Randy Olson and members of UA’s faculty. The movie is a unique hybrid of three genres -- mockumentary, documentary and reality -- that Variety called, “an exceedingly clever vehicle for making science engaging to a general audience.” It is the only U.S. movie that presents both sides of the global warming issue, and is more timely than ever given the rocky waters the global warming movement has recently hit.
Olson, a marine biologist (Harvard) turned filmmaker (USC), also directed the acclaimed documentary, FLOCK OF DODOS: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus and authored the new book, “Don't Be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style.” Nature Magazine says the book offers, “An excellent explanation of why scientists often have problems communicating with the public.”
