Is it a Coincidence a Film Was Made About New Orleans Disaster BEFORE it Happened?
Lisa Ruby
about the New Orleans Disaster only weeks before it
happened.
He never intended to be onsite in New Orleans
in a specially marked helicoptor that would take
him anywhere he wanted to go to capture the horror
as the disaster unfolded.
And of course Pitre never intended to use his film to
reinforce the media programming that the New Orleans
disaster was 100% of natural causes and and nothing more.
All of this is purely coincidental.
Any thoughts regarding this matter that veer outside the
bounds of media programming are outlandish conspiracy theories.

Filmmaker sees storm coming
By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
Glen Pitre wanted to make a documentary about what might
happen to New Orleans should a powerful hurricane strike
the city. Witness to disaster: Glen Pitre had just finished
filming a documentary about the dangers of a hurricane
hitting New Orleans when Katrina hit.
Instead, he got the real thing.
Just weeks after shooting what Pitre hoped would be a
cautionary tale about the region's ailing levees and
wetlands, which included dramatizations of residents
hatcheting their way through roofs of their submerged
homes, Katrina blasted the coastal town.
"We wanted the original film to warn people what nature
could do to New Orleans," says Greg MacGillivray, producer
and co-director. "Then we watched it happen."
The tentatively titled Storm on the Bayou marks a rare
Hollywood project to come from the devastated area. A
half-dozen films and TV shows have been shelved or
relocated from New Orleans.
Fahrenheit 9/11 filmmaker Michael Moore told the New
York Daily News that he wants to shoot a documentary
there, although no work has begun.
New Line Cinema hoped to show its film The Man as a
diversion for people staying at the Houston Astrodome,
but the task proved too difficult logistically.
"It's still chaos here," says Alex Schott of the Louisiana
Video and Film Commission, which is urging Hollywood to
consider other parts of Louisiana for filming. "We're
moving production companies to other parts of the state,
but I don't know how you could shoot anything in New Orleans."
Pitre never intended to. The writer and co-director of
the movie owns a home in the city and flew back before
the storm to board up his house. When Katrina finally
passed, he says, "I realized we needed to show people
what really happened here, because TV news wouldn't
do it justice."
Pitre and MacGillivray sent gear and photographers
back to the region. They borrowed a helicopter from
Universal Pictures, which was filming Miami Vice
in Florida.
"The helicopter still had all of the police logos
from the movie," Pitre says. "So while the media
was getting shooed away, we could fly anywhere we wanted."

The results of a cat 4 or 5 hurricane that hit Nawlins had pretty much
been laid out for years in a lot of documentation.
Not much "coincidence" involved.
