So we are making a documentary starring you: the blogosphere.
Not just starring you, but including you. That is, if you want to be included. Do you?
Let's discuss it shall we?
The Blog Role, the film, is a cinematic discussion of the netroots, and our voice in American politics. You, the bloggers are the stars. We will include as many of you as we can, famous or not. As there will be some bloggers who do not wish to be outed, we will figure out methods of working around this. It is the goal of this project to put a face to both the left and the right blogosphere, and we shall do it beautifully; at least on your gorgeous lefty faces!
Politicians, celebrities and media personalities are the co-stars, but they will be included. It is important to acknowledge that many of them realized early that bloggers did represent a powerful political force. Their views on the subject are import, however I would prefer to hear yours when all is said and done. You created it; you should explain its beauty!
There is much more to the vision than is explained here. It is both written, and in my head, but this serves as a nice summary. We can discuss it in the thread if you wish!
The Blog Role, the project is work, and we need help. We can't promise glorious financial rewards, but we can promise you that we will do everything possible to make this project a success. When it is, perhaps you will receive something you desire, whatever that might be.
There are some initial positions we would like to fill from within our ranks, therefore I am asking. Furthermore, if you have any expertise in these matters, please speak up.
Ask and we shall receive:
- Director of Photography (if you understand sound and lighting you are awesome)
- I need a Brain! I guess this means a person who can help me organize what I actually need. I can discuss this position with the person who wants it more detail, because it is an odd one!
- Sound and Lighting (as determined by DP)
- Attorney (and not one of the Johnny Sunshine Trial Attorneys who are screwing up the Legal System but a Harriet Miers Attorney)
As time goes on we will need:
- A variety of volunteers
- Editor
- Techie Geek x 4?
- Tell me!
Please understand that the principles (DP, my brain, and perhaps one other) will need to be able to travel with me for shoots. This is something to consider when discussing this.
Special note: We, as of now are Raybin and I (beagleandtabby). I am not a millionaire, but I am going to spend money to advance this project. I am also going to actively secure alternative funding. I will succeed in doing so, however difficult it might seem. Once the primaries are in place, I plan on discussing the more intricate details of finances with you.
