Ange Palmer, Producer
"During the filming of, 2 Degrees, we shot hundreds of
hours of footage, and most of that time I was lurking in the
background making it all happen. There was one moment when
I was compelled to step in front of the camera and speak. It
was a spur of the moment thing - I suddenly felt I wanted to have a
record of that big moment for myself. I never thought the clip
would be made public, especially given how sleep deprived I
was at the time, but I am choosing to share it now as a reminder
about why I believe our film is important. This is the raw, uncut,
unpolished version, complete with squeaky trolley..."

Ange set out to make this film in early 2009. Have a look
at the website www.twodegreesmovie.com
to learn more about the film and watch clips. With the
Copenhagen conference in disarray and the world economy collapsing,
most of the promised production finance to complete the film
disappeared. Ange avoided broadcaster funding as she was not
prepared to have the highly political story compromised, so
she was dependant on private investors. The next two years were
spent studiously attempting to raise the money with little result,
but last year an angel investor appeared and Ange is back in
action, but she still needs funsd to complete the film.
"We've launched a crowd funding campaign to try and raise the
remainder of the production budget," says Ange. "Crowd funding is
about making things happen from the ground up…lots of small
donations will add up and enable us to get this film made. So it
reflects one of the strong messages of 2 Degrees. We can't wait
around for multilateral agreements to make it mandatory to stop
polluting the atmosphere - we all have to get on and do it
ourselves."
