Spy cams on campus

02.04.05 - While Michael Moore has become one of America's notable documentary filmmakers -- both Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 won awards, set box office records, and had the nation buzzing -- conservatives have been hunting for a right wing counterpart. Last fall, the American Film Renaissance film festival -- whose slogan was "Doing Film the Right Way" -- provided a platform for a slew of young conservative filmmakers. The first film festival devoted to screening films with conservative perspectives featured two anti-Moore films -- Michael Wilson's Michael Moore Hates America, and radio and television talk show host and WorldNetDaily columnist Larry Elder's Michael and Me and new work from other conservatives.
While neither of the anti-Moore films has yet managed to land a major distribution deal, this year's hopes for a breakout conservative filmmaker and film appears to rest with Evan Coyne Maloney. Despite the fact that Maloney "hasn't completed a single film," he "may very well be America's most promising conservative documentary filmmaker," Jacob Gershman recently reported in the New York Sun.
Maloney is the 32-year-old director of the 46-minute film, Brainwashing 101. He, along with his two partners -- Stuart E. Browning, the executive producer and primary funder of the projected full-length version of the film, and Blaine Greenberg -- are offering a modicum of fame and a few decent prizes to students who catch their liberal professors injecting their own political opinions into courses where those views are deemed superfluous: Students can take down a pompous professor, become an instant celebrity (of sorts) and possibly appear in a full-length documentary, and win one of three decent prizes -- an Apple iBook G4 Computer (first prize), an Apple iPod (second prize), or an Apple iPod Mini (third prize) for their troubles. (The contest, which began on September 13, 2004, will accept entries until May 1, 2005.)
To qualify for fame and swag, students have to provide documentary evidence that their liberal professors fouled their classrooms with left wing demagoguery.
Here is what is required of participating students:

"may very well be America's most promising conservative documentary filmmaker,"
One for the "faint praise" file.
