I think what you're doing could make a difference politically, BUT there's one major problem: who is your current audience? Smokers and growers who generally already agree with you. Maybe a few random people have stumbled upon it on youtube, but for the most part it's people who agree with you and like what you're doing. So unless you have some idea of how to change the audience to those who disagree as well, and (ideally) even the politicians who matter, then I have trouble seeing this as more than entertainment. Trust me man, I think you're awesome, and I hope to God that you do help make a political difference, but considering your current audience I just have trouble believing it.

again, the jury is still out. There are two more episodes. The bulk of the audience at this point may very well be people in the "community" yes, but my thinking is ... art has the ability to transcend. I know a lot of people who are not growers that like this and can find something to relate to -- whether the dreaming, the hitting it big, or the bucking the status quo. You don't have to be a gangster to relate to or like "The Godfather" for example. We find empathy and we relate to the universal themes.

Nothing quite like this film style has ever been done before, as well. So there is that component that might make the establishment stand up and take notice.

So if the material is first compelling, but also carries a political message...all the better. I know that if this thing goes anywhere, and I an held up as an innovative documentarian, I will be a spokesman for our cause and get the awareness out there and help bring growers and smokers into a more tolerant and acceptable light.

I agree, a lot of my friends and myself have been affected by it.

When is the next episode going to be released?

when this is finished, if everyone who watched it would show it to at least one person that doesn't even smoke pot that would be very cool.

Stay tuned folks, it gets much more dramatic and politically charged. I hate giving dates because I don't want to cause a riot LOL. But I'm hoping it wont take much longer than a couple more weeks. This is the big episode!
 
Good idea no giving a date again. We don't want anyone more problems then we already have. Also I'm wicked excited for this next episode!

well, that's just like watching it on youtube (the youtube quality breaks my heart by the way. I shot this on a 6,000 dollar broadcast standard camera). And if they dont have the Net, I'm down with that. glad to hear you will get the big screen version.

By the way, who the hell doesn't have the Internet? Not to be cruel or anything. I mean I could see one person, maybe two. But passed around amongst your friends?
