FOR LIBERTY Docum3ntary Is Finished!!! Whoooo!!!

I agree that it is their choice of course, but I think you actually make more money by releasing it for free.

EDIT: Because A LOT more people will see it and recommend it to their friends and such and a certain percentage will also buy a copy once they've seen it.

IMO - "making money" is not a priority. Getting mainstream exposure is...

Btw, can it really be true that noone on this forum has a directors account? What about aravoth?!

Not that I know of- part of the issue is that they are very restrictive of people using copyrighted music and the like- and if you get dinged for it you're going to have a hard time getting in good standing. Of course there are minimal viewership requirements too- obviously aravoth is well beyond that but, IIRC, he did get hit on some music issues. AdamT has an app in for the directors account- it would be best to get it on their channel anyway.

Ah yes, I see. Damned copyright #!¤&!

I agree!! I'm setting one up in the OC

Don't call it that.

Thanks for the reply Bryan. I guess there might be merit in going for the festivals if there is a good chance that it will do well, and from what I hear it should (still waiting for my copy).

I just think that since Alex Jones can get millions of views by posting his slightly crazy documentaries for free online we should be able to get even more people viewing "For Liberty" if it was easily available for online streaming.

I have a directors account from 2006, but I think they want to use their own account for subscriptions and consistency. I have videos from the backyard boxing that my friends and I used to do from my earlier teen years.. :o

I saw the film at the Northeast Regional Conference. It was very well produced, but also very very long. If you'll allow me to make some constructive criticism, I would recommend trimming it down to 2 hours if you want it to get good reviews.

The running time is 115 mins to the end of the credit roll - and believe me when I say it was hard to even make it that short.

Is it a bad thing that the night after watching For Liberty with me, a close friend had a vivid nightmare that the gov't launched a false flag alien invasion on the country? She's not into tin foily stuff and has never seen War of the Worlds, yet her dream was very vivid and specific.

She called me at 3am, "I blame you and Ron Paul for my nightmare."
My response, "Don't blame us, blame the government for even making such a dream possible." Then I told her to google her nightmare scenario because she wasn't making the whole thing up. Somebody waking up maybe?

I've been watching the documentary and I'm already 56:31 minutes through. I love it!

She didn't see the new show Flash Forward did she?

So how about part 2 or a much longer directors cut?

Just saw it over the weekend. I felt that it was great but also felt that A LOT was missing. For instance, the crowd following Ron Paul through the streets of New York going into Gand Central, chanting "We're not just the internet!"

Not that I know of! It really was bizarre getting that phone call at 3am. She's a liberal leaning Obama voter so that made it all the more strange. I guess people are starting to see that something is very, very wrong.

I was hoping for a clip from the UofMichigan rally and speech. That was the point that I thought, "Hey, this is really starting to gain some steam."

I have heard of and been persuaded to watch a lot of interesting films because of various awards that they won and the publicity from the award(s). The ensuing reviews from mainstream film reviewers and publications are also an important benefit of festival going movies. If we want to cast a wide net over the mainstream US and world at large than festivals are where "For Liberty" needs to go.

After looking into the film festivals (a very important part of spreading the message and getting awards/credibility for the film), they frown heavily on films on the internet. In other words, for the sake of getting into festivals we can't upload it just yet, and probably not until next spring.

I'm sure it was very hard to get it down to that time.

Maybe I'm mistaken about the time, but it felt like it was long. I'm no expert in producing movies, but maybe you could shorten a few clips here and there to quicken up the pace.

I think the best part of the movie was that each of us identified with specific people in the video. Personally, I thought the Chicago speech really kicked it off, we also had a pilot that flew his plane up and down Lake Michigan towing a Ron Paul banner, my kids and I got a sign on top of a huge snowpile in the grocery store parking lot.....the painting parties...

I think they did a great job at capturing the spirit. Now we just have to figure out how to capture it again.

 

[pacelli]

I liked it, very well done.

True. Guess I'll call it criticism then
