Dean Documentary
From faithful reader, Bill Simmon:
The biographical documentary on former Vermont governor and presidential candidate, Howard Dean, that some of us were working on this past summer is now online and available for your streaming pleasure. Burlingtonians Mark Sasahara, Dan Mazur, Michael Burke, Nick Haggerty and myself shot some of the footage for this piece.
Some Hollywood directors including Charlie Herman-Wurmfeld (Kissing Jessica Stein, Legally Blonde 2) and Doug Liman (Swingers, Go, and The Bourne Identity) came to town and worked with us on the project. It was edited out in California and it's called "The Doctor is In."
For those of you who care, the footage shot by us includes all of Dr. Judith Steinberg Dean's interview, much of the Governor's announcement speech in Burlington, and other interviews with Vermont politicians. Mark Sasahara, Michael Burke and I shot loads of b-roll over several weekends, which was then FedExed to California in an emergency rush situation and... none of it was used! Typical.
Anyway, enjoy and Go Dean!
I command my loyal cadre of 14 readers to go to http://www.howarddean.tv/v2/ to see what my friends have put together*.
