George Miller meets the Wastelanders!

On February 8th, 2016, the American Cinematheque hosted a special screening of Mad Max: Fury Road & The Road Warrior at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica. Director George Miller was there in person to speak between the films. Wasteland World made sure that some members of the Wasteland staff and costume community were there to welcome him (including head organizers of the event, Jared Butler and Adam Chilson).

Dr. Miller was so impressed with the costumed group that he asked if he could take a photo of them. (“He witnessed us!”)

He then obliged the Wastelanders by joining them for a group photo.
