NYC PREMIERE 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 Wolf Lewis and producer Justin Levy.

Directors: Kaitlyn Schwalje, Alex Wolf Lewis
Producers: Rebecca Stern, Justin Levy, Alexander Lewis, Kaitlyn Schwalje
