Suggestions?.......
With the start of the new college year there's a chance for students to apply for a movie fund .Which is distributed to anyone who can come up with a good idea .We were thinking about making a documentary highlighting the nightmarish aspect of this new administration on the lives of ordinary Americans ....yet as manier an idea cherised by a student we put it in a drawer for some other time .Seeing hower these images of what seems to be troops , or in any case over-zealously armed fascist idea hugging freaks break up a party in Utah .the tasuring of peaceful protesters in pittsburg , we know that would have a shot at getting awarded some money for exposing those elements....any other stories of power abuse are more than welcome .

we already have election fraud (the hearings) ,military having a hard time leaving high school kids alone , fraud , fraud , some more fraud , screwing over the american people , vile disregard for what america stands for (by which we mean republican sen. ,and rep. going ape-shit on the floor )...


but we would hugely appreciate it if there instances and resources (people , moving image , pictures ) which would help us make the case in front of the film commission .

again this is just a floating idea so any suggestions no matter how odd would be more than welcome ,that said unlike fox we are looking to keep the grace of truth on our side

hmmm.....yez we should have a piece about fox .


it'll be an X-chapter compilation of short films regarding each subject ...any further questions are also more than welcome ....although the answers are still being constructed as we speak .

1. The shafting of veterans
And the inducements of the young by recruiters to be come veterans (if they're lucky).

3. we were thinking about
doing one about one of the manier veterans in need of some spare change to survive in tucson arizona ,standing in the blistering sun with their cardboard msg's . whilst less than a few miles away a huge graveyard of multi-(m)(b)illion airplanes shows the irony ....

2. How about
the "liberal" media, the difference on how things are reported. The effect Walmart has when they come into a small town. A film on how Costco operates. How oil prices are determined. The dumbing down of schools, get exams from the various time periods and see if kids can answer the tests. Interview a real homeless family. The difference between what foreign students heard about America and what they've experienced.

Just a few ideas.

4. we were thinking about
showing some hard-working american families , who are the backbone , not just of the american economy but culture ....and showing how their income has been ignored over the years (not adapted in accordance with inflation and such )...whilst filming the generic eerie hallways of wallmart's filled with goods that were made exploiting these very same families .....optimal would be a family with either a teacher or service member ...

not sure ...we might add some people who lived in the heydey of the american middle class in that segment ....and some of those deliscious shopping network thingies ....nothing creepier ...
