Directed by Paul Stekler
Cinematography by Deborah Eve Lewis
Asking what the politics are that launched George W. Bush to national office, award-winning filmmaker Paul Stekler takes his camera to Texas for a lively, behind-the-scenes look at a pair of 2002 elections — one for state representative in a district that includes Lyndon Johnson’s hometown, and a polarizing race for governor. Prominent Texans, including Bush strategist Karl Rove, former Governor Ann Richards, Clinton appointees Henry Cisneros and Paul Begala, and writer Molly Ivins shed light on the changing political landscape. In the end, Last Man Standing: Politics — Texas Style shows how politics in Texas may have become the blueprint for Washington. A POV 2004 Election Issue Special. [Text from POV website]
Cinema Laboratory 10 Exercise #13
Exercise #13 involves a large portable green screen from equipment checkout (we will not be in 6B since someone's shooting in there, so false advertising in the above photo). Separately, Deb will bring some green screen fabric for draping. For our last exercise, you'll each make a one minute film, something meaningful or fun for you. You'll pool all the footage together, but you'll need to get the elements you want shot during our time together Monday, May 2nd. Think about it . . .
