Starting a Conversation

Michael Shea — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 18:39:31 +0000

Hello Everybody and Welcome to our website. Presumably you’ve found your way here because you have some interest in our movie, Red State. A quick perusal of the buttons at the top of the page will give you plenty of information about the film including the opportunity to purchase it.

But the point of this site, and the film, is hopefully more than commercial. The film was created with a simple premise; knowing what was known in 2004 why would anybody vote for George W. Bush? And while the movie gives us some insight into this question it was never intended to be an end in itself but a beginning.

A beginning of a conversation.

A conversation that will take us away from objectifying and demonizing others so that we may see our problems and differences clearly. A conversation that acknowledges the humanity of “the other side” and hopes to find compromises and solutions, where possible. But a conversation that does indeed see the threat to liberty that some among us present and has as it’s ultimate goal the eradication of this threat.

So, we’ve made this film as the beginning of our contribution to this conversation. If you like what you see stick around, leave a comment, watch the clips, spread the word. And if you wish to host a screening we’d be happy to oblige.

Thanks for stopping by.
