Wow Peter seriously has a big head... He's going to be showing this in theaters to my understanding and justifies why not making it free so "HE" can have the potential to when the academy awards... What a con artist... This clearly shows why he made Zeitgeist which is to promote his BS and for him to get some type of credentials... It also shows he's going to be making money off his movie now ahh capitalism :D

I read somewhere that he said that as the movement grows, people would see less of him, but I' finding this to be the exact opposite as he wants to be a Hollywood star. This dude only won two ARTIVIST awards and thinks he can get mentioned in the Academy Awards?

Peter Merola:

Thanks Parker.

Here is the deal. The work will undergo immediate subtitling when ready- likely 15-20 languages.
Then, it will ideally have a global release through the chapters is as many locations as possible. I will forgo any income on this and arrange with the chapter heads to fund their own theatrical event - keeping any income they obtain - which is to be used only for future promo work for that chapter. This will be monitored and I will be very strict. I am doing this to try and help the chapters get a little money to work with, while also giving them a model of obtaining new members. In other words, after the screening, I hope each chapter will do their own Q & A and it will become more communal and create more members. I prefer this still to "donations". We don't have the legal structure for donations at this time and I still don't feel it is needed overall and can create corruption.

The internet release will be free online, but it will be delayed due to my interest to see a physical presence in each chapter screening- drawing an audience- along with the interest to qualify for the Academy Awards. This isn't an ego issue...I couldn't care less to "win" but if the work was at least nominated (and given the mass release it might have globally it will put it on their radar) it would help the exposure of the movement dramatically.

With that, they have rules and I cant have the film online for a certain period of time (a number of weeks). Granted- if the film just "happened" to pop up in un-official channels outside of my control, I will likely look the other way and the academy can't disqualify me for 3rd party "piracy" winkwink

There will also be a huge PR campaign with film festivals and press submissions/reviews. I'm sure it will be trashed by most reviewers, but who cares. The work is massive and multi-dimensional... near 3 hours, I suspect, with extremely high end graphic/live action work that is unprecedented in my prior films, coupled around the straight forward documentary style.

Looks like Mid Jan for Release.

I can only hope I make back the extreme costs= of this with the 5$ dvd sales - yes- even with inflation I am keeping the poetic statement of the 5$ model through zeitgeistmovie.com

Academy Awards? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA!!!! Oh my God. Someone please get a screenshot of this post.

He really thinks he's going to get an Oscar for his internet conspiracy film, doesn't he? Or that he deserves one.

Dylan Avery didn't even daydream about Academy Awards when he made Loose Change. Merola is seriously delusional. Unbelievable.

I actually doubt he'll involve conspiracy theories in the third film. We'll see, but I actually think he's learnt since Z I & II.

I also respect that he's actually trying to do something that'll force the chapters to get involved and do SOMETHING - i.e., no member can see my film that they've been anticipating unless they go to one of the organised physical screenings, or wait a certain number of weeks to see it online (being the essence of what he's saying).

I'm going to reserve being negative (if need arises) until after the film is released. I don't want to seem like I'm sidelining myself either for or against for now.

I don't know, if he had learned his lesson, he wouldn't have re-released ZI reaffirming strongly held conspiracy beliefs like "no hijackers on the planes."

Having said that, when is this big PR campaign supposed to begin? October is creeping up mighty quick.

If Peter Joseph's "films" made it to "Hollywood", they would probably be laughed at, not because of the poor research and conspiranoia (Hollywood doesn't care a lot about that accuracy stuff see Michael Moore for example), but because the film-making is so cheesy. I'm mean take a look at this scene from Z2, he might as well have filmed Jacque Fresco coming down from the sky on a silver cloud. Or in the first Zeitgeist when he showed the twin towers getting hit over and over rapid fire. People who review movies would shit all over this garbage.

Why would they focus on college students and use gimmicks to attract them? Wouldn't they want professors and scientists to be their main audience? They're the ones who have the power and knowledge needed to not only realize the full magnitude of the movie's info and its impact on the world, but to also attend to the movie without a bunch of silly advertising. They're also paid little enough to still have a desire to change the world.

Or maybe they want to grab the insecure kids with high potential before they can solidify their grasp on rationale. I wonder why. It reminds me of Ron Paul trying to rile up college kids.

I think I have about completely gotten to the point of seeing how utterly ridiculous Peter Merola is now.

I was prepared in the past to think he was at least not delusional about certain things, but it seems from this recent post he has surpassed himself. The level of idiocy being spouted here about being nominated for an academy award is amazing, he has left evidence on his own forum indicating that he could easily be shown to break the rules for consideration.

He has promoted people to spread it and he will turn a blind eye...wink wink.

So even if he was nominated it could be shown that he was willing to break the rules for entry anyways. Idiot.

> I will forgo any income on this

Excellent!

But didn't I just read someplace that he hopes to get back all the money he has invested in the films production ?

So I assume what he means is, 'once I have got all the money back I've invested, then I will not be taking any extra' ?

Now if he was transparent about how much he had invested, we might know, and see when he has got it all back.

But at least his heart appears to be in the right place...

(So, who gets the excess money, Fresco ?)

> arrange with the chapter heads to fund their own theatrical event - keeping any
> income they obtain

Oh thats good news, finally helping the chapters to develop an income.

> which is to be used only for future promo work for that chapter.

Ah, thats not so good news..

So, they can make tons of money, but they have to remain homeless/etc. and only spend it spreading the word..

At least a 50/50 deal would be nice, spend some on spreading the word, the rest as income for members, or for other projects. (Will that idea make it, doubtful, but one has at least to put it out there in the hope it might.)

> I am doing this to try and help the chapters get a little money to work with,

Excellent news again, nice to see money making isn't an evil thing now..

> it will be delayed due to my interest to see a physical presence in each chapter
> screening

Fair enough, and dare I say awfully business like and sensible. (Is this the same Peter we ask ourselves..)

> if the work was at least nominated (and given the mass release it might have globally

Yes again, a nice sensible stratagy.

Yes, after all, look at that Michael Moore film:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism:_A_Love_Story

Not what I'd really call a film worth watching in my view, but if someone can make money with something like that, it wouldn't surpise me that PJ could equally make money from something as awful.

What is perhaps depressing is that even if he did, the money would be just pissed away creating DVD's for landfill and no real change would be actioned in the world.

> Wouldn't they want professors and scientists to be their main audience?

You would think wouldn't you.

But to appeal to those guys, you have to be actually quite sensible about your solutions, and most currently that I see who come across TZM material just about instantly dismiss it as a joke, those that look further, dismiss it on many grounds and don't take it at all serious. So as such, one would have a long way to go before sensible people took any notice, which just leaves the innocent and naive young folk to market it to..

> he has left evidence on his own forum indicating that he could easily be shown
> to break the rules for consideration.

Not the most sensible thing to do there..

Next he'll be suggesting we don't buy Fresco's books, but pirate them.. :-)

Still, its nice to see him trying.

But, yes a but :-) it would be nice if he let others try other solutions as well and work with him, but oh well, wish him the best and hope he makes enough to buy someplace to live and stop paying that greedy capitalist landlord of his! (Or his brothers..)

Id wonder what acceptance speech Peter has made for such an occassion if he has a goal to win though to be honest hes more than likely to win:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yAoXyW94pM /> Personally I think some entity should officially set up an annual award for that.

If he hopes to get nominated for an Academy Award, he must have raised his standards of journalistic work - I don't remember them being interested in rehashed material or CT flicks.

Or he is irrationally optimistic again, which wouldn't really surprise me at this point.

There's no optimism about it. It's egotism, not optimism. Merola thinks he deserves an Oscar. So does Barbra Streisand every time she makes a movie.

Well, he does imply that he only hopes for a nomination. Which is optimistic, when we consider the journalistic standards of Z1 and Z2, but I'm still curious if he tries harder in Z3.

Oh boy I hope the Academy accepts films made in Windows Movie Maker. His--WINK WINK--"accidental leaking" of it before theater release would disqualify him anyway.

http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/rules/rule02.html</p>

I love how he expects his chapter people to pay to get it in theaters. I hope their managers at Burger King and 7-11 are keeping an eye on the tills. The delusion is breathtaking.

The dream is over:

I have decided to drop any award/festival qualifications that interfere with the Internet Release (who gives a shit).

http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=99999&func=view&catid=229&id=292693&limit=10&limitstart=50#294007

I think he finally found out that his movie wont qualify:

To be eligible for 83rd Academy Awards consideration, a documentary feature must complete both a seven-day commercial run in a theater in Los Angeles County, and a seven-day commercial run in a theater in the Borough of Manhattan during the eligibility period.

The picture must be exhibited using 16mm, 35mm or 70mm film, or in a 24- or 48-frame progressive scan format with a minimum projector resolution of 2048 by 1080 pixels

(so real films only, no extended youtube videos)

Works that are essentially promotional or instructional are not eligible, nor are works that are essentially unfiltered records of performances.

(Does promoting your own personality cult count?)

Next he'll claim that Edward influenced Jack Valenti to change the Academy Award eligibility rules just to keep Zeitgeist out of the running. Because, you know, it would have won a bunch of Oscars if only the trolls at CS hadn't spoiled things!
