2021 Showcase: 5 Years from Now

The Audio Verse Awards Nominee Showcase Podcast

Hi, I'm Amelie Edwards, I'm the Writer, Producer, co-director and Actress for 5 Years From Now. 5 years from now is set in the future when the world and humanity are dying. Over one hundred years of abuse has intoxicated the planet to the point of no return. The seas have dried up, the animals are dead and vegetation will no longer grow in the contaminated earth. A select group of humans (mostly politicians and their families) have evacuated the earth while a group of 12 scientists remain to attempt to make the planet habitable again.

I wrote 5 Years From Now out of desperation. For years, since I was tiny, I've been hearing about how climate change and pollution is destroying the planet and that we're heading for catastrophe. But, I couldn't see anyway out, no one seemed to be responding in the way we needed to. So I wrote 5 Years From Now as a way to show where we could be headed, because I think it can be hard to find the drive to respond if you can't picture what the future may hold. Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy.
