Welcome!!

Dear Friends,

Thanks for visiting the home of "State of Change," my new documentary.  You can watch the film in its entirety by clicking on the link above.

In early February, I attended a Barack Obama rally at Boise State University and it was an unbelievable experience.  Taco Bell Arena has never been so packed -- the seats, the floor, the hallways, the doorways were overflowing with people.  And the enthusiasm, the desire for a better America, was infectious.  There, we heard a call to move beyond the divisions of the past to work together and tackle the real issues facing us.  The hope, the knowledge that together we can do it was uplifting and inspiring. 

After the rally, I realized that the Ada County Democratic Caucus, just three days later, had the potential to be an amazing story.   I quickly assembled a very talented crew -- and what we captured was history in the making.  This turned out to be the largest single political caucus in the nation for 2008.  Idaho also provided Obama with the greatest margin of victory for the entire primary/caucus season.  And more than 1,600 people were left outside on that cold February night because of the record-breaking turnout.

What you're about to see is a montage with 17 voters and political leaders -- looking at some of  the reasons why people wanted to be a part of the process.  The film weaves together interviews conducted before, during and after the caucus.  Anytime you have a gathering of thousands of people, there's bound to be a little noise, and you can definitely feel the energy in some of the interviews.

You too can be a part of the change  I encourage you vote early, whether you are in Idaho or beyond.  Like the people in "State of Change," your voice matters.  Please use it to stand up for positive change.
