Doc shooters collaborative project - Farenheit 911 protests	Can't Post

I'm going to be shooting video of protesters outside movie theaters showing
Michael Moore's Farenheit 911 here in Austin, TX.
I thought it might be interesting to get documentary shooters across the country to
do the same and pool all the footage into one project.
If you can shoot and provide your tapes we could put together a nice collaborative
project on no budget. Won't make us rich, but I think I could get us a showing at
one art house type theater here in Austin, and I'm sure there are others across the
country that would be interested if we did it right.
If you're interested, send an e-mail to oswald(at) austin.rr.com.

Just curious, what aspects of the movie are you protesting, or are you simply protesting Michael Moore? (I plan on seeing it this weekend).

I'm not protesting anything. I'm shooting the people who ARE protesting, and any
interaction with counter-protesters and moviegoers. I plan to see the first showing
on Friday afternoon and then shooting any demonstrators Friday and Saturday
evening.
If any protests continue into the week, I'll continue shooting.

Hey Jeff
Sorry, but I won't be able to help you out with the protest, I have previous commitments. However, I would love to see the finished product. You can e-mail me at Jaminme@aol.com (Jaminme is my AIM), so, keep in touch.
Best of luck.
