Documentary Film
A film about the issues in Abundance, as well as the making of
Abundance,
will be made with Emmy-nominated Walter Brock and Marty Pottenger
co-directing. Using cartoons, animation, scraps from popular culture in
film
and print, and footage from the interviews and workshops that make up
Abundance, the feature film will bring the critical resonance of these
issues
to a wider audience with the possibilities, humor and elegance that
film
affords.
Abundance is Marty Pottenger's most ambitious project to date,
combining live
performance with other visual and literary arts, realizing the
interdependent
nature of artistic and community dialogue, and enabling the
participation of
thousands of diverse citizens from across the country. Envisioned as a
multi-dimensional, multi-cultural community arts project, Abundance is
designed to reach an ever-widening circle of participants and
audiences,
offering Americans of all classes the transformative power and
imaginative
reach of live performance as a tool in our conversations about today's
economic challenges.
