An hour-long version of "Gridlock - Public Transit in SE Wisconsin," a feature-length documentary focusing on the politically, culturally and emotionally-charged issues surrounding transit and its related government spending, will be aired today on WMVS Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10.1 (MPTV) at 6 p.m.
Independent filmmaker Mark Irving, producers Jon Baade and Julie Olson, along with their video/interactive production company i level media inc., are in the final stages of producing "Gridlock" and worked with MPTV to air an edited, hour-long version today.
"Gridlock," in both its hour-long and feature-length versions, examines the question, "Does southeastern Wisconsin need a modern public transportation system and, if so, what will it be and how does the region go about getting it?"
"Gridlock" focuses on the money, politics and environmental choices as well as the emotional and personal stories of people in southeastern Wisconsin and the Chicago-Milwaukee metroplex.
"We scripted and are producing 'Gridlock' as a one-stop-shop for comprehensive information on modern, public transportation systems." Irving said. "We have also researched, filmed and explored transit scenarios in major metropolitan areas across the USA, while gathering a tremendous amount of data and background about the costs and benefits of either adopting - or avoiding - mass transit."
Irving and his fellow filmmakers are looking for final funding to complete the feature-length version and have a produced a promo/trailer at http://www.gridlockdocumentary.com to give potential investors and future audiences a feeling for the experience that the finished film provides.
