Well, hello.

How are you? Doug Park.

Thanks for coming in.

Yeah. Thanks for having me.

Okay, so, uh...

Joe, um...

Why don't you tell me a little bit about Joe Burns Productions?

Looks like you were owner and president since 2010.

That's right. Um...

It's my own production company.

It's my passion,

uh, documentaries.

Um, my, my first feature, Tilt,

premiered at the Big Sky Film Festival.

Very competitive to get into,

and I actually got a small distribution deal

as well.

Oh, wow.

Anyway, so that film was about international pinball tournaments.

Specifically between an American and a Russian,

who compete as fierce rivals,

only to become best friends.

Which might seem like a light topic,

but, it's actually a very, uh,

profound examination of the role of chance

in a controlled system.

Okay, well...

Pinball. That sounds fun.

Um... Uh, so your last job before that was...

Looks like Stan Grossman Entertainment, 2012?

Right. Yeah.

Uh, they did mostly...

industrial films,

educational training.

I also did a lot of, um,

fundraising videos for non-profits.

Oh, that's certainly...

rewarding.

Okay. So, have you had any...

exposure...

promoting specific brands or products

to corporate messaging strategies?

Well, you know, it's funny that you say "messaging",

because my current documentary Golden Age,

actually focuses quite a bit on the theme of messaging.

- Okay. - Yeah.

But more as it relates to

the selling of a set of values

than a specific product.

It's fascinating

how sophisticated we've become

at manipulating people

to conform to a prescribed set of beliefs.

And when in reality, I mean,

we know that the only true religion in America

is consumerism.

I mean,

have you ever seen the way that people worship their smartphones?

I mean, it's like the idolatry of a religious zealot.

We've become addicted to our things,

and all because of this messaging.

This message that consumerism and capitalism will make you happy,

when in reality, none of us are happy.

And look at how obedient we've become.

I mean, we are less rebellious as a populous than we were in the 1950's.

Our mythical Golden Age.

That's the title of my film.

Golden Age.

And I'm hoping it could cause a...

real kind of a cultural disruption.

Yeah.

Okay. Well, um...

Unless you have any more questions for me, um...

I got another meeting I got to run to, so...

- No. - Well, great. Thanks, Joe.

It was great meeting you.

And, hey, I appreciate you coming in.

Thank you.
