My pot movie

browndirtwarrior said:

I never set out to make a political film. I started out making a movie with the working title Geurrillas in Our Midst (an obvious play on words). It was to be a romanticized look at the life of the outdoor grower and thumb my nose at the law. Then things started to happen, to go wrong. I almost quit making the film on several occasions. What you see is what the film evolved into -- prohibition.

Selling DVDs and branding browndirtwarrior is just a way to build a war chest to fight the war. The proceeds go back into producing content on the war on marijuana. Prohibition is just the beginning of the goodies I have coming on this phony war. But don't expect prohibition 2 or anything like that, because the show is a one-off ... and any attempt to duplicate it would be a cheap Hollywood tactic.

There are the purists out there who think that commercializing this thing in some way diminishes the content and denotes alterior motives, and I understand and appreciate that point of view. And they would be right on one count: there IS an alterior motive. I want to affect change. But I need help. I need resources. I've been arrest for cultivation. I've gone through the court system. I know what it's like to be villified for doing this. And it's just wrong.

you're pretty good at being an agitator *and* missing the point.

as he stated, the movie would provide 'funds for the war chest', meaning that even outside of the publicizing the common irony that is marijuana prohibition (which does help, in my opnion), the moneys it provides can do nothing but help further ventures into exposing the lunacy that is the war on drugs. get it?

Someone has to take the high road.

Hey Brown Dirt,

This is my first post ever in a cannabis forum and I couldn't see a better place to first give an opinion than on your thread.

First off, I loved your movie and was impressed by it. I put a messege up on one of the episodes on youtube telling you that I think it should be airing on the Documentary channel once a week. They love these kinds of movies. I am thinking about purchasing it too. It would only be fair since you did put your time, effort, money and artistic touch into something that really entertained me. We all have to do something to earn a living and I am glad that you did something that not only can help you but it helps others as well even if for some it was merely entertainment.

As for the people who comment about you trying to earn money off of your movie or your other cannabis related work that you do, I just can't seem to understand any problems with that. You damn well deserve it in my opinion. How is working for a living selling oneself out? The only people who could complain without being a hypocrit would be someone who is jobless and/or gets their living paid for by some means that they aren't working for. These people who criticize you are more than likely selling themselves out for a buck somewhere by investing their time and resources in some endeavor that helps to pay their bills as well, (I would hope anyways.) We pretty much all have to work to earn a living and you putting your back and your artistic talents into something is a fully worthy way of contributing not only to yourself, but to others and to society as a whole. I commend and admire you for that. You made some good shit.

Working hard whether its with a paint brush, a camera, your back, your pen or flipping burgers is in no way selling oneself out. Almost all of us have to do it and when you can find ways to not only do it for yourself but for others, its awesome.

I"m sure this is his fulltime profession for him, so of course he needs to make some money! be it for his war chest or to put food on the table I see nothing wrong with it. I'm happy to see his success for his talents!
