Festival Co-Directors Jason Apuzzo and Govindini Murty introduced their feature film, TERMINAL ISLAND. Stylishly produced and photographed, the whole film cost an amazingly low $9,000. In a subsequent conversation with a number of festival attendees, Govindini discussed how this festival could never have taken place 5 years ago, prior to the video technology now available for shooting, editing, sound, etc.

The great Larry Elder introduced his film MICHAEL AND ME, a persuasive discussion of the right to bear arms. It debunked the myth that crime was high in the Wild West; in fact, because most men were armed, crime was very low. It showed that in U.S. states, and in foreign countries, where gun ownership is not restricted, crime has dropped.

Many of Evan Coyne Maloney’s short documentaries are screening during the festival, and his BRAINWASHING 101 will screen on Sunday. He’s in Los Angeles, visiting from New York, for the festival. He and I had exchanged email some months ago, and it was a pleasure to meet him. The cane is due to a recent successful leg operation, and he expects to be off of it within the week.

#2Thanks for asking about this. MMHA screened on Sunday, and I will post about it in my coverage of day 3 of the Festival.
did mike wilson's Michael Moore Hates America show on Sunday? I was under the impression that it was going to.
if it did, i'm surprised you didn't write about it.
