Maybe contact National Geographic looking at their blog on this it would seem they might want to take part getting interviews on the bad science with Brady Barr would be nice. Who knows maybe Natgeo will help fund ?

I will be sure to contact NatGeo as well as my contacts at Animal Planet and Discovery. Not sure if they will commision something like this, but I would bet they would buy it and air it if they are not interested in funding it up front. Thanks, Brian(BHB)

dude you have my vote for a doc.and a lil fundining from me if you decide to go with it...i think you should, you'd be perfect for the job!! and more than just reptile people need to see the film(obviosly) imo people need more info on the" big guys" other than what news stations tell people....for instance calling them "man eaters" i mean cmon now...do they know cats can eat man too!!!. go for it bro.

Brian, I do like the idea; however, the approach may be just as important as the subject. You may want to get some "non-reptile" people involved to avoid making a film that may only interest us. I've talked to several people the last few days and when discussing how this bill moved forward they were shocked. My brother told me that if he didn't know I was telling him the truth he wouldn't have believed it. Also, if they move a bill forward like this what's next? Our gov't talks about how they want to help the unemployed and small business and this bill would do the opposite. What other business and jobs will be attacked next? The same day that this bill moved forward our gov't was discussing how they should change the college football playoff system. The worst economy of our time and 10% unemployment and they're discussing college football??

I also think it may be a good idea to see how other lobbiests and PR companies have addressed subjects that aren't so popular or well known. The more ways we attack this bill the better.

Just throwing some ideas out there...

I could not agree with you more, it is very important to make it so that it is not a reptile film, but a film exposing bad politics. This is about a hobby that generate hundreds of thousands of jobs, we are not an underground business like some people think. We could both open peoples eyes to our incredible hobby while making sure the focus is on job loss, economic impact not to mention pull at peoples hearts with the fact that hundreds of thousands of animals are the real losers in all of this. Like the comment that we could sell their skins to offset the loss, I'm sure people would be blown away that our elected officials feel that way towards helpless animals. I'm open to any and all ideas. This would be for the community but made in a way that would transend the community. Thanks for the thoughts! Brian(BHB)

Wow!
I think it would be a great idea, but the only problem is that what you are talking about would take months to complete, and would probably not be finished and distributed until after the bill has been denied or approved.
If your goal is to get people informed about this specific bill and have them do something, it probably won't do a whole lot of good. But, if your goal was to alert people about the situation in general and to be on the lookout for future bills, then I think it would be a great idea!
