"Path to 9/11" writer/producer gives "advice" to aspiring RW filmmakers
(This is a repost of mine from a couple of weeks ago. How many credible, network TV filmmakers display their films at right wing film festivals? He also admits that he doesn't care much for veracity.)


Here's a portion of an interview that Cyrus Nowrasteh, the writer/producer of "The Path to 9/11" gave to a conservative blog, Libertas:

http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/index.php?p...

GM: What do you think of Michael Moore?

CN: To quote Team America, he’s an out of control socialist weasel (laughs). Listen. I’m probably more of a libertarian than a strict conservative. In my writing and directing, I don’t want to just be a conservative version of Michael Moore. I’m here to tell a good story first and foremost - and that’s why I can navigate the networks and get my work produced. (my underline)

GM: What advice would you give to aspiring conservative and libertarian filmmakers? (my underline)

CN: Don’t tar all of Hollywood with the far left-wing brush. There are many people who may be open to different points of view, and you should try and engage with them. If your work is honest and truthful, people will connect to it, and it will eventually be produced. Also, you can just go out and make your own project. New digital technology today is really making that possible. Just be persistent, keep writing and creating, and you will get your projects made.

GM: That’s great advice. Thank you so much for your time.

1. Yes, Cyrus. If your work is honest and truthful,
people will connect to it. That's why people are having trouble connecting to your mockumentary.
