The Freedom of Crowd-Funding
There is no doubt that The Age of Stupid is an extraordinary achievement on many levels. The success of Armstrong's 'crowd-funding' model means that the production team were completely independent and didn't have to contend with pressure from film studios or special interest groups. This inspired and brave approach is reflected in the amazing footage they gathered on their travels over the last six years and the searingly honest opinions they captured from five real people living very different lives in various places across the globe.
The film is a hybrid of drama-documentary-animation starring Pete Postlethwaite as a man who lives alone in the devastated world of 2055, watching archive footage from 2008 and asking: Why do not we save when we had the chance?The story begins in the year 2055. A man known as the archivist of all art and knowledge acquired in the world, played by Pete Postlethwaite, review archived films of the past searching for the answer to the question "when we could have saved ourselves?".
