QUESTION: Can you explain the purpose of THE CLIFFIES? Is it to raise
the profile of the cli fi genre in Hollywood and among Hollywood
players? Is that why you are putting on this annual event, starting in
early 2015?
QUESTION: THE CLIFFIES top winners will be announced a week before the
OSCARS telecast? What is the reasoning behind that?
QUESTION: Who is sponsoring THE CLIFFIES? Where is the money coming
from to put the show on? Will it be telecast or live-tweeted or just
announced online?
QUESTION: Where are the nomiantions for THE CLIFFIES coming in from?
And who will decide on the list of winners?
QUESTION: Cli fi is a new genre, so new that most people have not
heard of it. Are you worried that by calling your film awards event
THE CLIFFIES -- a semi-goofy nickname, to say the least! -- the
official name of the CLI FI MOVIE AWARDS might get lost in the shuffle
between social media and print media?
QUESTION: What was the inspiration for your wanting to set up THE CLIFFIES?
QUESTION: Are THE CLIFFIES more of an educational, awareness-raising
awards event than a glitzy glamor Hollywood celebrity VIP thing? In
other words, who are you trying to reach and is this more of a PR
event than a real film awards event?
QUESTION: As THE CLIFFIES grow year by year, do you envision a time
when the awards ceremony will be hosted at a Hollywood venue, complete
with professional MC and a few celebrity guests?
QUESTION: If the CLIFFIES become popular inside Hollywood and
worldwide as well via social media, can you imagine the day when an
OSCARS award winner acceptance speech calls his or her movie a cli fi
movie and uses the word CLI FI on air for all the world to hear?
QUESTION: How long do you envision THE CLIFFIES lasting? Is this a
one-time thing or do you see it lasting 50 years, 100 years?
QUESTION: Lois Lowry, author of THE GIVER novel in 1993 that became a
movie in 2014 was recently asked by a reporter for USA TODAY why so
many Hollywood futures appear to be dystopian, as in her book and
movie. She replied: "That's a good question. Maybe in dramatic terms,
utopia is boring." Do you agree with her?
QUESTION: Anything else you want to say about THE CLIFFIES and how you
hope it might impact Hollywood movies in future years, given that
movies often take years and year to get greenlighted and we might not
see too many cli fi movies in Hollywood for another 25 years or so?
Is the CLIFFIES a beginning? Are you trying to sound the alarm about
climate change issues in cinema? Are you issuing a wake up call to
movie critics and PR units and marketing people inside Hollywood?
