Final Hour

"Paul Lussier is a bestselling author, screenwriter, playwright, and Emmy-nominated executive producer with over 25 successful television ventures to his credit as executive producer, creator, and writer. His productions have aired on major networks in the US including CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, HBO, and A&E." That's how my resume goes, but I'm more interested in what I am currently working on, a multipart series called "Final Hour," a global television event to air to an audience of 1.4 billion in over one hundred languages on the Discovery Channel in fall of 2008. Working with over 300 experts worldwide as well as governmental (NASA, NOAA), major NGO (UN, IPCC, UNFCC, EDefense, NRDC, WRI, World Bank), and top international scientific institutions, "Final Hour" aims to dramatically represent, decade by decade, a coherent path to sustainability for the planet between now and 2050, with the sorry amalgam of climate change, poverty and peak oil--and its solution--shouldering the series' dramatic core.

Because my primary purpose is to experiment with new modalities of storytelling to help galvanize cultural momentum for climate change advocacy, awareness, and action, "Final Hour" is designed as a hybrid between fact and fiction to deploy solutions as drama, not dogma. I am also at work journalistically and academically trying to get a handle on the "language" that is necessary both to manifest a vision of a world that is as green as it brown, black, red, lavender as well as support that world once we get there.
