Who’s Not Behind Alongside Night?
Posted by jneilschulman 10 years, 3 months ago to Politics
Before I ran into Pat Heller I separately asked both of the Koch brothers, Charles and David, for financing to make the movie; Charles ignored my email and David turned me down.
Neither has any of the institutions shown in a chart in The Billionaires’ Tea Party supported the production or so-far the distribution of my movie. I’ve sent out emails to Matt Kibbe at FreedomWorks and Joel Cheatwood at Glenn-Beck’s TheBlaze asking for strategic marketing partnerships between their organizations and my pro-liberty movie and I’ve been ignored. I’ve gotten nowhere with the Campaign for Liberty and its youth wing, Young Americans for Liberty; nor with Students for Liberty. I thought — and still think — that Alongside Night is uniquely focused in dramatizing a pro-freedom worldview that these organizations say they also hold, so the empty echoes of my own voice asking to join forces is surprising to me.
But then why do I also have to listen to voices to my left that class me with a right-wing that evidently wants nothing to do with me either?
Is being a truly anti-political libertarian so far off out of the Talking Points War between conservatives and liberals that there’s no place for my voice?

- 1Posted by $ MikeMarotta 10 years, 1 month agoI got word of this via Pat Heller's newsletter. I did not know that he is financing the movie. TIM RUSS and GARRETT WANG (Star Trek Voyager) are in the movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1667061/full... It releases this month. If you have not read the book, another Objectivist friend of mine called it "a romp." While it has tension and plot twists, you know that the good guys are going to win. Imagine yourself loose in a libertarian underground (both literal and figurative) with twenty US $20 gold piece... and, oh, yes, you have to rescue your father, a Nobel laureate free market economist...| Permalink
