The Story of Film - 1903-1918: The Thrill Becomes Story
(or The Hollywood Dream)
This episode covers the very first movie stars, the close up shot, special effects, the creation of the Hollywood myth, along with a surprise: the women who were the greatest—and best-paid—writers in these early years.
Revisionism - Classic Neo-Noir
A revisionist critique of Mario Puzo's book and the resulting film directed by Frank Coppola
Activist Documentary
What if there existed a culture and economic system that placed human need above corporate greed? How would we bring that world into being? American Autumn: an “Occudoc” is an invitation for everyone to participate in positive change.
Shot on the front
lines and meeting spaces of the Occupy movement in NYC, Boston and
Washington DC from the earliest days through the end of January 2012,
American Autumn: an Occudoc is an inside looking out view of
the occupy movement. With interviews and insight from key organizers,
thinkers and activists including Medea Benjamin, David Degraw, Dr.
Margaret Flowers, Lee Camp, Naomi Klein, Nathan Schneider, Ashley
Sanders, Vlad Teichberg, Sgt. Shamar Thomas, Dr. Cornel West, Kevin
Zeese and others, writer/ director Dennis Trainor Jr. weaves
commentary through a fearless filmmaking style that often puts the
viewer right between police and protesters.
“We now have a film of our own. This
is not amateur hour. This is a movie as well made, in technical
terms, as any Hollywood blockbuster with Pentagon funding. But this
is a movie with us in it. I don't mean our little group of activist
friends. I mean us, the people of this country, our stories, our
hardships, our triumphs, our injustices, our tragedies and our humor.
This is radically different from what you'll see at your local movie
theater" remarked David Swanson of MichaelMoore.com
The film includes an original score by Goldi, a member of the OWS music Rebel Group and “Guitarmy”, with additional original music created by Mike Lawrence-Yanicelli. The legendary punk band FUGAZI also supplied additional songs. AJ Russo served as the Associate producer, co-editor, and created all of the graphics; James Russo served as the audio designer.
