MAINSTREAM Trailer 1
MAINSTREAM traces Hollywood’s origins from the early art-driven movie moguls to the profit-driven corporations of today. With the government-decreed divestiture of movie theaters in 1948, the Golden age of Hollywood was destroyed.
Along with this destruction of the “studio system,” movies became increasingly formulaic, exploitative, violent and produced by a small “control group” of insiders.
Then, with the advent of TV and various influences from Europe, Hollywood movies descended into a morass of political correctness that gave birth to what we now know as the MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
Now governed by just 6 huge conglomerates, Hollywood movies and the New York-based media (collectively the MAINSTREAM MEDIA) have become involved with hundreds of predatory, unethical and often times illegal business practices that result in discrimination against talents, crews, executives and whole populations.
Worse, the movies and network news have become a tool of the Globalist Agenda, an agenda to outsource the U.S. manufacturing base in the name of “free trade” and destroy the American Middle Class in the name of “stockholder value.”
Hollywood has become one of the “big bad” corporations it endlessly dramatizes in its movies. And all this started as a consequence of government intervention into the right of the movie moguls to market their own movies in their own theaters.

A NOTE FROM JAMES JAEGER ON THIS TRAILER:
This trailer features Lee Garmes, best known as a cinematographer who shot over 100 classic movies including a significant portion of GONE WITH THE WIND and won an Oscar for SHANGHAI EXPRESS. In this Trailer 1, I put a clip of the last scene of GONE WITH THE WIND and SHANGHAI EXPRESS -- both of which Lee shot. Trailer 1 thus marks the first time Lee Garmes has been documented actually speaking, voice over, his cinemagraphic work on two very famous films, GONE WITH THE WIND and SHANGHAI EXPRESS.
Later in Trailer 1 – the stunningly beautiful women before and after the shot of Errol Flynn -- are Ruth Hall and Ruth Hussey. Ruth Hall was Lee Garmes’ wife and Ruth Hussey was the mother of John Longenecker, DGA. John won an Oscar for producing THE RESURECTION OF BRONCHO BILLY when he was a student at USC. Both Ruth Hall and Ruth Hussey were stars in the Golden Age of Hollywood. Ruth Hussey is best known for her performance in THE PHILADELPHIA STORY when she played the part of the reporter along side Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant.
Lastly, the group photograph at the end of the trailer is a shot of me standing next to Lee Garmes and part of Lee’s entourage circa 1979 when I was working with him in Hollywood. I edited Lee’s last film and I also shot his last official photograph which you can see at Wiki.
Hope you enjoy the trailer and will support the production of this important movie. -- James
