I just hope the production value is higher than most of the stuff the right usually puts out - it's no fun trying to watch one of their documentaries and be constantly taken out of the story by shitty lighting, bad audio or heavy handed and misleading editing choices.

I just wish he wouldn't frame his new venture with the 'we're being prosecuted and blacklisted so we have to do it ourselves' schtick - just make stuff and if it resonates with people it will find an audience.

I'd love to see a well made documentary made by a true conservative director about issues that isn't just one long attack ad.
