- - - - - QUOTES FROM INVESTORS
"I was lucky enough to be able to put some money into Drowned Out and see it win critical acclaim and millions of viewers. We are now facing the possibly cataclysmic consequences of global climate chaos, so the possibility of being able to head down to my local multiplex and see a film which calmly, even-handedly but passionately paints a true picture of oil and our relationship to it is...nothing short of miraculous. It's a real thrill for me to be in at the ground floor of a film which could have a seismic effect on public perceptions of the oil industry and the wider system that it serves. My advice is that if you're in a position to move some of your money into something that will make things better, do it. We may be the last generation of this species who still have the opportunity to turn things around and build a safe, truly sustainable, socially just future."
MARK B, One of the funders of Franny's earlier film, Drowned Out, and the very first investor in Crude.
