Good Time Watching "The Congress" | 125

Sends us a comment or question!This week kicks off our exploration of films produced by NON-AMPTP studios to support the striking writers and actors who bring to life the stories we love watching. There is no better candidate to start with than 2013's “The Congress”.  The mixed medium film directed by Ari Folman stars Robin Wright in a world where movie studios have started scanning actors to continue “creating” movies without the actors. 20 years pass and contract negotiations require her attendance of the futurological Congress, presented in the film as an acid trip soaked tribute to the animation styles of the 20s and 30s.It's an odd film that predicted some of the largest changes to both the industry as well as technology in general.  It's clear that studios are already attempting to achieve a similar process via scanning background actors and the way that virtual reality has become more of a social platform.Featuring: Bob Rudenborg, Jon MarekEditing: Jon MarekTheme: Brian Adams-Find Us Across the Web: https://www.thebutchandthebi.com/Follow Jon on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/jonklobsterSign Up for Bob's Patreon: https://patreon.com/asmallfrogart
