Tuesday, February 10 at 7:00: Q&A with co-director and cinematographer Alex Wolf Lewis and producer Justin Levy

Winner of the Audience award at the 2025 Camden Film Festival, Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong is a buddy comedy about American safeguards and the thankless pursuit of making a better world. As often decades-old policies and procedures face dismantling, it’s worth asking – what (or who) keeps us safe? Filmmakers Kaitlyn Schwalje and Alex Wolf Lewis take us inside one wastewater facility and the funny, close-knit, and inventive individuals working to keep it all running. The screening will be followed by an on-stage conversation with co-director and cinematographer Alexis Lewis and producer Justin Levy.
