Clinton Strategists Attack... Not Obama, but We Who Support Him

If you haven't noticed, the new attack on Barack Obama is an attack on his supporters -- "There is too much enthusiasm for Obama" is their new mantra. Political strategists, some posing as  journalists, are complaining that tens of thousands of people show up to hear Obama speak -- this must be bad, right? Obama supporters are known to cry during his speeches, some are even writing songs. Bad for A...Read more

From a San Francisco Cafe: "TRE" and Clinton vs. Obama (of course)

First of all a shout out to Patrick and AliveNot Dead.  I'm seeing a lot of people at the theaters who came out to support "TRE" because of this website!  Filmmakers out there, be glad this site is out there.                        

So I was really happy to see the film projected on 35 mm last night, and we had a great time afterwards at the Margaurita (sp?) bar down the street.  All I can hope is that tonight we'll get a chance to do the same.  The drinks ...Read more

"Tre" Is a Film for Women and Men who Understand Women

  I am doing radio and TV interviews tomorrow in San Francisco and I'm now thinking in sound bytes in order to prepare.  Just kidding.  But how do you like that title?  Lots of reviews came in today.  When I learned that film critic Dennis Harvey was reviewing Tre for the San Francisco Bay Guardian, I was glad because he had written a great review in Variety during our festival run.  I think I ...Read more

Diary from Virginia Primary -- Volunteering for Barack Obama

  Last week on the day before Super Tuesday, I woke up to find my cell phone had somehow vibrated itself off the night stand and into a glass of water.  That day I bought my first Blackberry (already addicted) which I found out can post text and photos to my Facebook wall instantly.  Below is the diary I kept while standing in the freezing cold volunteering for the Obama campaign (and voting) in the Virg...Read more

Tre premiere in Chicago -- Headed for Obama Speech in Maryland

After the Chicago premiere of Tre at Facets we had a great party in the upstairs lounge of a bar/restaurant down the (very cold freezing cold) street.  Kimberly-Rose and I had to duck out briefly to do a Q and A for the late screening -- as soon as the credits were done Kim told me that in her introduction she'd promised the audience that I would tell a joke.  I was unprepared for this, so to get Kim back I talked about the shooting of...Read more

TRE Premiere and After Party -- Movie, Fun and Drunken Behavior

Believe it or not I was worried I'd be late for the 7:30 showing of TRE which I was supposed to introduce. I had spent the day at Obama rallies shooting videos for our United For Obama YouTube channel. I arrived to find out that we'd sold out the smaller theater assigned to us and moved to the grand hall theater (something they told us they would not do under any circumstances). Now I wish i'd invited my family and ...Read more

Brawls, Tre, Obama

Yesterday I worked for 13 hours, including an advance screening of "TRE" and a Q&A.  During the screening there was a fight in the audience and two people got kicked out!  I was the best witness because I am always worried about disturbances of my screenings.  So, when the police were called, guess who got pulled out of the screening to give an eye-witness account.  We are really struggling with technical problems on the "TRE" 35  mm print.  I got home at 2 AM last night, and then I edited this video I shot duringRead more
