| Operation Filmmaker Clip |
 |
In the wake of "Operation Iraqi Freedom,"
American actor Liev Schreiber had an
idealistic notion: to rescue an Iraqi film
student from the rubble of his country and
bring him to the West to intern on a
Hollywood movie (Everything Is Illuminated).
It promised to be a heartwarming tale, a
small victory out of the troubled mission of
the U.S war in Iraq. But as in the war
itself, "good" intentions yielded unintended
consequences, and even this operation doesn't
go according to plan. Director Nina Davenport
becomes personally involved in Schreiber's
charitable effort, and soon finds herself
embroiled in a complex moral quagmire and
all-consuming power struggle between
filmmaker and subject. Operation Filmmaker is
an engaging, sometimes comical political
parable, taking the viewer on a riveting ride
from Baghdad to Hollywood.

| FOOD NEWS: A Conversation with "King Corn" Filmmaker |
 |
Part 1: A conversation with filmmaker Curt
Ellis about his new documentary "King Corn",
the film that may open eyes across America.
Surprisingly, corn is present in some form or
another, in almost everything on the American
plate. And, none more so, than through the
food ingredient "high fructose corn syrup"
(HFCS). Is it a good idea to have "HFCS"
present in so many of our foods without prior
public debate, or adequate science to measure
its impact on the long-term health of adults,
and especially our children? Should our
standard meals be unnaturally skewed toward a
corn based diet, in the first place? This
interview, along with video clips from the
documentary, may not provide the answers
here, but it's a good beginning for further
thought and reflection. What do you think?

| Iran's Fearless Film Maker - Iran |
 |
June 2007
Her films have divided Iran, led to her
arrest and seen her charged with four crimes
that carry the death penalty. But Iranian
filmmaker Tehmineh Milani refuses to be
silenced.
"She focuses on women's rights and shows
things the way they are", states a fan.
Milani's latest film, 'Payback', is her most
contentious to date. It's about four women
who meet in prison and form a vigilante gang,
posing as prostitutes and handing out their
own brand of justice to men. "I wrote the
story but the characters are based on real
people", Milani states. Although Milani is
Iran's most commercially successful director,
filmmaking for her is about much more than
making money. As she explains: "I think I
have an ability to make a positive cultural
change".

http://www.myspace.com/matthewwriting
Please Subscribe. My name is Matt Brown and
this is a montage consisting of my writing,
directing, cinematography, editing, sound
design, and lighting. I'm still in school,
but I'm extremely passionate and getting to
be very knowledgeable on the filmmaking
process. I'm going into screenwriting and
create massive amounts of short films and
experiments on the side to stay at the top of
my game until I get the resources to make my
innovative feature script into an actual
movie. Thanks for watching! Any comments
would be cool. Sorry about the quality.

| Blog 1 - The Lone Filmmaker |
 |
My girlfriend and I have just got together
and now I am making a feature film entirely
on my own, from acting to best-boy, and this
is the first time you will be able to witness
the struggles and set backs, highs and lows
of one man fighting to make a feature film
entirely on his own!
I am a filmmaker and so this is my passion,
but this project will require me to leave
home and venture out into the wilderness.
My girlfriend has agreed to film the whole
process - and this is the beginning.... Blog
one.
XX PLEASE READ XX
My girlfriend is NOT helping me make the film
by filming me. She is filming these video
blogs - if she was, then I wouldn't be making
a feature film entirely on my own. :-)

| Quantum Factor with filmmaker, William Arntz -What The Bleep |
 |
An intriguing interview with the producer,
director of the award-winning movie, What The
Bleep Do We Know? In this episode, William
Arntz discusses the ways in which new ideas
in science and quantum physics, and many
long-held beliefs behind spirituality and
religion are now merging, and how that
converging of new science with age-old
beliefs, would inspire producer, director,
William Arntz to co-create the films,"What
The Bleep Do We Know!? and "What The Bleep!?
Down The Rabbit Hole." This episode, with
host Alison Hill, first aired on PBS
affiliate KBDI-Channel 12, Denver, Colorado
