Lost in the Wash begins with two strangers who meet in a laundromat. They do not know anything about the other, yet they are inexplicably drawn together. Their names are Lucy and Thomas, and they have one thing in common. Neither of them has anywhere else to go. This is the premise of a film within the film, directed by Blake Mitchell. Blake Mitchell is a young man whose life has been thrown into emotional chaos when his girlfriend leaves him. All he has are these two characters in the laundromat, so he uses them to try to work out his own emotional pain. The film at large becomes about the relationship between a director and his characters, an artist and his subjects. As Blake begins to lose his grip on the storyline and reality as he knows it, he finds his own characters have turned on him, leaving him in both a comical and metaphysical quandary. The film is 83 minutes long.

OIL…

It’s in our clothes, our laundry detergent, our toothpaste, cosmetics, furniture, contact lenses and office supplies. It’s in our telephones, CDs, tennis rackets, painkillers and plastic. Oil doesn’t just fuel our cars – it fuels modern life. Continuing instability in the Middle East means a shaky future for the steady flow of oil on which Americans
depend so heavily. Factor in Western nations’ insatiable power needs and the energy demands of huge, growing economies like China’s, when the world’s reserves of easily accessible “black gold” are already strained, and the oil industry finds itself forced to enter uncharted terrain. Where will tomorrow’s oil come from? And how far are we
willing to go to get it?

“Oil Curse” is a documentary which shows the impacts of ChevronTexaco’s oil operations on native communities in Ecuador and Angola. It is part of a series on Global Oil Operations…from Ecuador to Alaska .
