BTN Signs of Diversity in Hollywood 09/24/2004

[Beyond The News]

September 24, 2004 Signs of Diversity in Hollywood —Michael Medved "Fahrenheit 9/11" may not inspire Americans to vote against Bush, but it's already inspired direct action from Hollywood conservatives--who've displayed new energy in response to the leftist onslaught by Michael Moore and his colleagues. Two conservative film festivals--the American Film Renaissance in Dallas and the upcoming Liberty Film Festival in LA--feature dozens of provocative releases. A TV special on AMC called "Rated R: Republicans in Hollywood" highlighted the new outspokenness of industry conservatives. And now a documentary from an Emmy award-winning producer heads into to theatres, called "Celsius 41.11--The Temperature at Which the Brain Begins to Die," taking direct aim at Michael Moore--and John Kerry. I'm proud to be part of all these projects--as keynote speaker for the two film festivals, and on-air commentator for the two movies. Hollywood conservatives can't yet compete with leftists in commercial clout or flamboyant extremism, but we're beginning to show that creativity isn't a liberal monopoly. Michael Medved is the host of The Michael Medved Show. If this commentary was forwarded to you, sign up for your own free subscription.
