I purchased Herpers and thought it was fun but how many non herpers watched it? If people aren't interested they may simply switch channels, that's what I do when I come across something I'm not interested in. Many folks would watch your documentary but most would already be on our side. If you do move forward I think a good angle may be to point out how our liberties are being taken away, our cause is just one of them. It's hard to explain to people why we should be able to keep these animals but everyone understands the loss of freedoms and liberties. Just a thought.
I agree it is a tough thing, if we think short term we should put all our resourses towards this fight. And I would never want to take anything away from that fight, that being said this is the largest thing that has happened to our trade in the hobby's history. I think people outside the herp community would be interested in it if we took the Michael Moore angle of how the politicians cost the country 100's of millions of dollars over an invasive species law that was passed on bad science and only for political gain. If we went forward we would not make it a reptile film, there is no reason to make a film about this for reptile people. You could never compair "Herpers" to this project. I love the Herpers movie and Dav Kaufman has signed onto this project if we decide as a community that it's in our best interest. That's the big question at this point, do we want to as a community have this travicy documented from here going forward?? I want the masses, not the reptile people to realize the truth. I'm not sure there is a better way to get the truth out?? I am open to your opinions and if we as a comminity decide it's not worth it then by all means I will shelf it. Thanks, Brian(BHB)
