| CONFESSIONS OF AN INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER: Week 15-16 - 161 sec This is a story of a guy...a guy who has a solid animated script and nailed a big studio meeting last fall and got interest but nothing happened after that so he took the hype into his own hands to make this friggin' movie and didn't realize this vid would be spotlit when he started and now he's peeing in his pants!!!

| Operation Filmmaker Clip - 533 sec 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.

| Iran's Fearless Film Maker - Iran - 684 sec 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". Auteur : journeymanpictures Tags: Journeyman Pictures Iran woman film maker Tahmineh Milani fundamentalism feminism  |
| FOOD NEWS: A Conversation with "King Corn" Filmmaker - 361 sec 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?

| FOOD NEWS: A Conversation with 'King Corn' Filmmaker: Part 2 - 380 sec Continuing the conversation, Curt Ellis shares his story about the pervasiveness of corn in our daily foods. We learn that for the first time in human history, the problem of obesity is associated with poverty, not affluence. The processed foods that saturate the market with cheap food products is the chief culprit. Do you feel it's time for a change?

Part 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=F4fhSmAieAo
Sam continues his conversation with YouTube Diva, Lisa Nova! Lisa Donovan is making a name for herself in many ways. She talks about the fun she has had with friends like Jordan Peele from MADtv, Jenna Elfman from Dharma & Greg, as well as her brother and boyfriend. What she really wants to do is Direct! ... just like her Dad.
"Comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable!"
Lisa is an American actress and writer. Her self-produced comedic short films, published under the username LisaNova, are among the most viewed videos on YouTube.
Donovan was a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder before moving to Los Angeles, California hoping to become an actress. There she founded Zappin Productions, a production company specializing in viral videos.
Donovan uploaded her first video, "Introducing LisaNova", to YouTube in 2006. She has parodied a number of celebrities and public figures, including George W. Bush, Keira Knightley, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Lindsay Lohan, among others. Her most popular video is a commercial parody entitled "Dumb Water". Currently LisaNova is the 9th most subscribed YouTube Partner nearing 100,000 subscribers.
On July 10, 2007 Donovan posted a video titled "LisaNova does YOUTUBE!", in which she kidnaps prominent YouTube users and forces them to comment to her subscribers, a reference to wide accusations that she has used bots to send thousands of messages to other YouTube users and created hundreds of fake YouTube accounts for publicity. The video received millions of views.
Lisa was given a featured player role on MADtv in February of 2007. She debuted in a spoof of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she played Salma Hayek, the producer of the ABC Comedy Ugly Betty.

| Blog 1 - The Lone Filmmaker - 85 sec 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. :-)

| FOOD NEWS: Part3: Conversation with King Corn Filmmaker Curt - 345 sec Farming today is not what we may imagine it to be. It's become largely an industrial process, and corn epitomizes this shift in production methods. In Part 3, 'King Corn' filmmaker Curt Ellis shares his experience growing an acre of corn in Iowa, and what it was like for him and his partner. Surprisingly, the growing of 10,000 pounds of corn in one season was the easiest part of the whole farming experience. The other parts were more mundane, and more disappointing.
