THE BEST GOVERNMENT MONEY CAN BUY? is the first behind-the-scenes, comprehensive, non-partisan examination of the system of lobbying in Washington, DC.
The cost of election campaigns has spiraled out of control, to the extent that, on average, our representatives spend more than 25% of their time fund-raising. Even our Presidents regularly interrupt the nation's work in order to spend time fund-raising!
Raising funds to get elected - that's the key interface between lobbyists and Members of Congress.
The number of registered lobbyists has more than doubled since 2000; their fees have also increased by 100%; and in 2006-7 they spent a staggering $13.5 million per day. Over the past six years, they have spent more than $13 billion. Would it be naive to conclude that the interests whose money they channel into the political process, expect nothing in return for it?
Veteran documentary film-maker, British-born Francis Megahy, makes a journey of discovery as he tries to answer some questions which puzzle him: who provides the money? What effect does it have? How is it connected to the financing of political campaigns? And most crucial, is it in the public interest?
Laemmle Theatres and Dalton Pictures are pleased to present YEARDLEY, a provocative and disturbing new indie drama about a narcissist who risks personal destruction because he cannot think beyond his own sexual needs.
After ending an office affair, Jeff Yeardley (Jesse Bernstein) is accused of sexual harassment and fired. Soon his wife leaves with their child and files for a separation. Unable to accept her choice, he fights to reunite his family and is quickly subjected to the intrusive eye of the courts, visitation supervisors and social workers who monitor and second guess all of his decisions. To make matters worse, his money is running out, and he can't land a new job.
Desperate to rebound from this devastating situation, Jeff accepts work from his friend at a call center and falls victim to a scheme by two unscrupulous and manipulative women. He is led on a journey of moral discovery where every decision he makes changes his life in ways he could never imagine. As he falls into a downward spiral of lust and betrayal, the consequences are dire, and he must overcome his selfishness if he's to win back his family or else be doomed to a much worse fate.
The exclusive Los Angeles engagement will begin on Friday, October 29 at the Sunset 5 in West Hollywood.
