Seascape inventor Dan O'Brien has written a movie surrounding the very real possibilities of an oil spill disaster, tied to the extinction of the Beothuk people. The proposed plot involves a disaster on the Grand Banks, not far from where Newfoundland and Labrador's offshore oil industry is based. In his fictional story, O'Brien taps into Newfoundland and Labrador history as well as what he has learned about the oil industry. In November, the largest oil leak in the province's offshore history — about 250,000 litres — occurred at Husky Energy's SeaRose FPSO. A proposed poster design based on O'Brien's script shows a massive floating oil platform.
