Smokescreen
A razor-sharp powerplay about the dark arts of marketing behind climate denial.
It's 1977. Glenn has a crisis on his hands. He's had a successful career as a marketing exec. for a major Oil company selling the fuel that powers the American Dream. Now he's waking up to the damage it's doing to the climate. In a secret meeting he consults with Bud a slick young talent from the Tobacco industry to figure out how to sell a toxic product - and how to live with yourself if you succeed.
Compelling unnerving and piercingly relevant Smokescreen is a psychologically-charged battle of wits that reveals how the climate crisis we face today was shaped by the invisible hands of Ad men.
Searing performances by Damon Baudin (Boys on the Verge of Tears Romeo and Julie) and C.S. Carroll (I Have No Enemies The Cadaver Palaver) collide in a pressure-cooker of manipulation morality and earth-shattering choices about controlling the narrative while the planet burns.
