Andrew ‘Wilf’ Wilford<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we began our 45 day Indiegogo campaign<\/a> to raise at least $30,000 with which to clear the archive rights for footage we use in the film.\u00a0 We are so far up to $485 in contributions and this is only the first 24 hours.<\/p>\n

$250 of that was a legacy contribution on behalf of the late Andrew ‘Wilf’ Wilford, a scientist, teacher and sustainability advocate from Brisbane, Australia.<\/p>\n

This tribute<\/a> by our friends at the Post Growth Institute will give you an idea of the many things this good kind man did and stood for.<\/p>\n

I never got the opportunity to meet Wilf – we corresponded by email in the two years prior to his untimely death.\u00a0 With his position at Bond University and extensive experience working with mission-critical systems, we discussed the possibility of collaborating on a documentary series called “RISK!”, which would compare the attention paid to the details of space shuttle launches and aircraft design with the profligacy we seem to revert to when the critical system in question is our planet, the Spaceship Earth which Wilf described in his TedxBrisbane talk in November 2011.<\/p>\n
