#OregonMade “Finding Groovopolis” is being released nationally via Freestyle Digital Media. To mark the occasion, the jacket filmmaker Wil Kristin’s dad wore in both The Terminator and Finding Groovopolis is up on long-term display at Portland’s iconic Movie Madness, timed with the screening at the inaugural Portland Panorama Film Festival.
In the documentary Finding Groovopolis filmmaker Wil Kristin seeks fatherly advice through the lens of Groovopolis, a never-produced comedic screenplay written by his late father. While coming to terms with his dad’s death, Kristin discovered the original script for Groovopolis, which follows a music programmer who falls overboard at a work party, encounters a group of wild, dancing island inhabitants, and inadvertently records their music before being rescued and spreading the sounds as an antidote to dull and monotonous consumer culture.
