About the Film "The Beast" by Charmaine Hammond
The Beast (to be released fall 2019) is an animated disaster documentary turned story of inspiration that will make you laugh and has the power to heal. The story is an animated reimagining of the largest wildfire evacuation in Alberta's history and most costly disaster in Canadian history. Inspired by the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire disaster, the lessons in the film apply to any natural disaster around the world. Supported by educational resources and programs, The Beast will help communities around the globe as they recover, rebuild and regain resilience.
The Beast takes real interviews of real survivors of the Fort McMurray wildfire and injects them into the world of animals in the Boreal Forest. Through a series of animal interviews, we hear the first-hand accounts of those who first escaped the fire, were then forced out of their homes for more than a month, and finally had to adjust and re-acclimate to life when returning to a very different looking home. Screenwriter/Director: Michael Mankowski.
