Something New: A Liberal Production Company
A group of Hollywood executives have teamed with a veteran Washington Democratic hand to create a political production company with an eye toward playing a major role in the 2008 election.I don't think they need a special production company for this. These guys are going to have to take their place in line behind every other production company in Hollywood. Lets try to name the number of "conservative" films produced in the last 5 years. Passion of Christ? What else?
Among those affiliated with First Tuesday Media, as the group is known, include Chris Moore, executive producer of "Project Green Light" as well as the "American Pie" movies, Katie McGrath Abrams, a public relations exec and wife of "Lost" executive producer J.J. Abrams, Jenno Topping, executive producer of the two most recent "Charlie's Angels" films, and Chris Keyser, a television executive whose credits include "Party of Five." Laura Nichols, a longtime aide to Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-Mo.) who serves as a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, is the face of the group in Washington.
The goal of the company, which was created last year but whose existence has not previously been reported, is to use the creative minds of Hollywood to create content -- Web and television -- designed to move a political or policy message.
An example: First Tuesday Media was recently commissioned by the Center for American Progress to produce an energy video. The script was written by George Nolfi, the screenwriter for "Ocean's Twelve" and "The Bourne Ultimatum," in conjunction with Jeff Nachmanoff, screenwriter for "The Day After Tomorrow."
Meanwhile, the left has CNN, BBC, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, etc. The problem isn't that America hasn't gotten your message, boys. To the contrary, it is ABSOLUTELY impossible to go a day without hearing something about global warming, or Amerika's evil activities in Iraq, or oil companies, or our irrational support for Israel or Bushitler. We got it; we know what you think. WE DON'T CARE.
