  • 'Freakonomics' Documentary May Be a Rarity: Profitable
    April 4, 2010 ‘Freakonomics’ Documentary May Be a Rarity: Profitable By MICHAEL CIEPLY If Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, the authors of “Freakonomics,” were to examine the movie business, they might ask: Why do documentary filmmakers keep doing it? It can’t be the money, because the world is awash in documentaries that make little at the box office or are not distributed at all. Occasionally, though, a documentary makes a buck for those involved — and the new documentary based on “Freakonomics” could do just that. Magnolia Pictures is expected to announce on Monday that it has acquired domestic distribution rights to the film, which was produced by the Green Film Company and directed, in parts, by a series of well-known documentarians. Those include Alex Gibney ( “Taxi to the Dark Side” ), Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing ( “Jesus Camp” ), Morgan Spurlock ( “Super Size Me” ), Eugene Jarecki ( “Why We Fight” ) and Seth Gordon ( “The King of Kong” ). “Freakonomics,” the film, got started when Chad Troutwine, a producer who worked on an earlier multidirector movie, “Paris, Je T’aime,” became interested in the best-selling book, which looks into matters like the socioeconomic implications of baby naming. Dan O’Meara, who with Chris Romano and Mr. Troutwine is a producer of “Freakonomics,” said the movie cost just under $3 million, which is not small potatoes in the documentary world. One financial hurdle, Mr. O’Meara said, was that the big-name filmmakers, unlike many on the festival circuit, actually had to be paid. Mr. O’Meara declined to say exactly how much each received, but all were paid the same, he said, and the amounts were “a pretty reasonable fee, above guild minimums.” Mr.

While using brands in film promotion is not new for Hollywood, it certainly is new territory for the documentary format. Spurlock exploits the phenomenon to new heights, with everything from branded pizza boxes and in-flight film promotions to branded-everything in-film. With humor and insight, POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold unmasks the marketing process to bring audiences behind closed doors directly into the pitch meetings and marketing presentations which ultimately inform our everyday entertainment decisions. Sponsors were provided with brand category exclusivity. The brands that agreed to sponsor the film placed Spurlock front and center in their brand campaigns and advertisements, both on and off-line. Partners have the unique right to promote themselves in association with Spurlock and the film as “The Greatest.” The agreements also stipulate that Spurlock maintains creative control of the film’s content and final edit.

  • Introduction Matthew H
    Michael Moore: Filmmaker, Newsmaker, Cultural Icon Matthew H. Bernstein, Editor http://press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=192221 The University of Michigan Press, 2010 Introduction matthew h. bernstein With the premiere of his popular debut ‹lm Roger & Me in late 1989, Michael Moore proved himself an astonishingly successful non‹ction ‹lmmaker. Thir- teen years later, Bowling for Columbine’s extraordinary box of‹ce performance and its Academy Award for Best Documentary con‹rmed Moore’s standing as a cultural commentator to be reckoned with. In the intervening years, Moore diversi‹ed his output: he became a best-selling book author, TV show pro- ducer, and media personality. When Fahrenheit 9/11 premiered in June 2004, following its winning the Palme D’Or at Cannes, Moore certi‹ed his status as a ‹lmmaker, newsmaker, icon, and political celebrity larger than any one of the ‹lms, books or TV shows he produced or the website established and main- tained in his name. For 20 years and counting, Moore has served as a comic, unof‹cial, har- ried, and harrying spokesperson for the disenfranchised working class and liberal and leftist Americans—a single-handed critic of corporate America and an answer to the rise of Fox News. He had also become a lightning rod for conservative criticism and personal attacks long before he attempted to in›uence the outcome of the 2004 American presidential election with Fahrenheit 9/11. And while 2007’s Sicko was not nearly so ambitious as the 2004 opus—and it’s worth recalling that no other theatrical non‹ction ‹lm has ever tried to dethrone a sitting American president—Moore’s 2007 movie inaugurated a more intensive phase in America’s ongoing efforts at healthcare reform that the Obama administration and Congress have begun to address through legislation.

  • An Open Letter in Support of Joe Berlinger and the Documentary Filmmaking Team of "Crude"
    May 12, 2010 An open letter in support of Joe Berlinger and the documentary filmmaking team of "Crude" As members of the documentary film community, we the undersigned strongly object to the Honorable Judge Lewis A. Kaplan's ruling last week in the case involving our colleague Joe Berlinger, the Chevron Corporation, and Berlinger's 600 hours of raw footage shot during production of his documentary film "Crude". Judge Kaplan sided with Chevron and ruled that Berlinger must turn over all of his raw footage to Chevron for their use in the lawsuit discussed in the film. Berlinger and his legal team plan to appeal the ruling. In cases such as these involving access to a journalist's work material, whether they involve a newspaper or online reporter, a radio interviewer, a television news producer, or a documentary filmmaker, it is understood that First Amendment protection of the journalist's privilege is never absolute. Typically, if such privilege is successfully rebutted in court, a turn-over order demanding a document or other thing is issued and the journalist must comply or face the consequences. Therefore, it is astounding to us that Judge Kaplan demanded that all of the footage shot during the production of the film be handed over to the attorneys of Chevron, given that the privilege exists primarily to protect against the wholesale exposure of press files to litigant scrutiny. While we commend Judge Kaplan for stating "that the qualified journalists' privilege applies to Berlinger's raw footage", we are nonetheless dismayed both by Chevron's attempts to go on a "fishing expedition" into the edit rooms and production offices of a fellow documentary filmmaker without any particular cause or agenda, and the judge's allowance of said intentions.
