Biting North Korea Political Satire
Donation protected
Kim Jong Un is offended by Sony's "The Interview"? Let's give him something to really twist his knickers.
The Interview was fun, but a very weak commentary.
The early scripts we have drafted are already far more biting and suggestive of political folly than The Interview, which was, let's face it, a two-dimensional stoner comedy.
No studios, no distributors, no intimidation
Let's make a movie that will get us banned from North Korea and give it away for free on bit torrent and YouTube. Once it's out there, it belongs to the world.
This wouldn't be offensive to the people of Korea. It won't be a racist rant in any way, but rather it will take aim squarely at the already-cartoonish regime and the corrupt political workings of the hermit kingdom.
I've been a satire writer and editor of GlossyNews.com since 2002. In January of 2014 I made my first spoof video about how hot dogs are REALLY made, which has been viewed around 60,000 times. Half of those who see it find it offensive, the other half get the joke and love it. That's my goal in satire.
Here's an example of my production work behind the camera. It stars two of my sons and was a lot of fun to put together. This was a one-day project start to finish.
I have great hope for the people of the DPRK, but no patience for the dynastic rulers who've suppressed them for generations. I wrote this article last year about How Kim Jong Un could save the nation. Instead, he's trying (and to a large extent succeeding) at censoring what media the entire world can see.
THE GOAL
To hire paid actors and an experienced technical crew for a 5-7-day shoot. The finished product is hoped to have musical numbers and run about 40-minutes in length.
If we get a few thousand we can make something, but if we reach the goal, we can make something truly meaningful. If we exceed the goal, the project will grow in length, features and scope.
Help us thumb our noses at these petulant bullies.
