HELP: Can anyone find out who owns the site www.thepeoplesstory.com?

[gatorboy]

I remember there was some sort of page online for this sort of thing but I forget the name of the page.

I'd be curious as to see who pays the bill.

[LA lady]

1. possibly?

2. This guy?

Steven Scaffidi

[gatorboy]

4. I didn't know that portion of the Rockey story.

So a guy named Steven Scaffidi decided to film a documentary on how pleased some N.O. citizens are with how Bush is running things? Was this put out just to try and muffle the spotlite from Spike's film?

[Nicole]

5. The Original "The People's Story" was in 2000

Plot Outline:
The story about the courage of the people of Central America who survived the devastation of Hurricane Mitch, the worst natural disaster to hit the Western Hemisphere in over 200 years.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1621367/

How, why & when he got in with this Rockey character, I don't know. :shrug:

7. It's part of a series

"(Rockey's) been working with award-winning documentary film maker Steven Scaffidi of Ghost Rider Pictures on a new film based on Scaffidi’s successful People’s Story series. The first in the series, "The Devastation of Central America," tells the story of the Honduran people who survived the ravages of Hurricane Mitch. It won awards at the New York, Houston and Telluride Independent Film Festivals, and was a nominated finalist at the 2000 Academy Awards. Please go to http://www.thepeoplsstory.org for more information.

The current film focuses on people in and around New Orleans, their Katrina experiences, and what they are doing now to regain their homes and lives...."

6. You gotta see this

Apparently Steve directed a film that didn't make the cut at Sundance. In retaliation, he spammed their blog http://www.indiewire.com/ots/2005/11/sundance_spectr.html

The following exchange starts with a criticism of Scaffidi's work and then the fun begins.

let's be honest here...

just from the trailer
the acting is terrible
the cinematography is typical
indie, dv-slop
too much hype
no real content

and really, these people are just
bitter they didn't get in...

how sad...

blair witch - you ain't
so stop tryin'

I had a stong feeling that our film would get people's attention but I'm surprised by all of this since we are not even invited to Sundance. Thank you Don and Billy for your comments above. Working with you two has forever changed the way I look at making films. I've also learned a lot about prison life and capital punishment. I am planning to go to Sundance and who knows, maybe we will find a venue to screen "Execution". And thank you Johnathan for you well written and thoughtful words. I look forward to having that beer with you and talking "shop". I've had the pleasure to go to Sundance on several occassions and I look forward to going this year and seeing some great films while meeting the interesting people who love film. There is an Irish pub on main street which name escapes me but I'm sure that many of you know the place. I plan to have my first beer in that pub and I hope to meet some of you there. You'll know who I am because I'll probably be wearing a black baseball cap with a big "X" on it. I will be checking in to read more of your interesting posts so I hope you keep up the spirt and support the independent filmmakers of the world. If anyone would like to contact me personally you can do so by writing to [e-mail]
See you at Sundance and as Mr. Cabana said "On to Berlin!"

crayn71 -- I just deleted 53 comments from this thread, all of them from the same IP address but posted under 22 different user names.

Steven: you didn't get anyone attention with your stunt, you only cost yourself time in posting so many bogus messages (and cost me time trying to sort through which ones were real and which ones were bogus.)

Net gain for the independent film movement? Nothing.

Net gain for your reputation as a filmmaker? Probably a negative.

9. and Monsanto!

Why am I not surprised?

11. Another silly thing.

I thought Rockey was going to see if the President would speak to him. According to Scaffidi's Press release, it looks like it was already a done deal!

12. It's all planned, read the bold

After stops in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Mobile, Montgomery, and Birmingham, Alabama. Columbia, South Carolina. Raleigh, North Carolina. Richmond, Virginia.

To see the governors of each state at their respective state capitols. And to see the mayors of Bay St. Louis, Mobile, and Birmingham.

To tell his story.

And to deliver his personal message to President George W. Bush. In Rockey’s FEMA trailer. Over a Cajun dinner prepared by a world-famous Louisiana chef.

Part of Rockey’s story will be that MillionMenFront wants to deliver a million people to south Louisiana and the Gulf Coast to help clean up, rebuild, and get families back in their homes.http://millionmanhump.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=2

It gets worse. We gotta find out about this MillionMenFront group. Is it the white man equivalent of the Million Man March?
