nWave Pictures Acquires Worldwide Distribution Rights to the Immersive Giant Screen Film “Hurricane” Movie distributor nWave Pictures has acquired the worldwide distribution rights to Hurricane, a giant screen 3D documentary film produced by Ouragan Films.
The 40-minute film will be screened in October 2016 at the Giant Screen Cinema Association Conference in Toronto.
Hurricane is the journey of a weather system, fuelled by a force that was revered as a deity by ancient civilisations.
From a sudden howling sandstorm in Senegal heralding the coming monsoon, the winds transform over the Atlantic Ocean into a raging monster five hundred miles across.
Ships are tossed on growing ocean swells, and the violent winds and torrential rains of hurricane Lucy crash into the rainforests of the Caribbean before causing immense storm surges in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane follows meteorologists and emergency crews as they battle to predict the storm’s path, while those in harm’s way prepare for the worst. Meanwhile, NASA’s satellites and hurricane tracking aircraft capture the enormity of the storm.
We see the environmental impact on coral reefs, agriculture and wildlife as the Category 4 hurricane engulfs the region.
But once the damage is cleared, the regenerative power of nature is captured as the film captures the rebirth of a rainforest and the return of its hardiest creatures.
Hurricane is a 3D production, filmed on location over a five-year period.
The film will be released in giant screen cinemas worldwide, beginning October 2016 and is available to IMAX theatres and DCI compliant digital cinemas.
