I pay very close attention to documentaries. It’s a genre dear to my heart as I continue to work on my big epic. I want to see these films, and see how they’re financed, produced, and marketed….<\/p>\n
Some told me all about The Cove<\/a>, a documentary about dolphin genocide. It’s supposed to be an excellent film about a very disturbing practice that takes place in a small town Japan.<\/p>\n As many of you probably know, Richard Berry<\/strong> was the guy who wrote LOUIE LOUIE, and he’s the main reason why I’m doing my documentary. He believed in me, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful.<\/p>\n So as I looked for showtimes for The Cove<\/a>, I found it intriguing that the main character has a name that’s similar to Richard’s….<\/p>\n In the 1960’s, Richard O’Barry<\/strong> was the world’s leading authority on dolphin training, working on the set of the popular television program Flipper<\/strong>. Day in and day out, O’Barry kept the dolphins working and television audiences smiling. But one day, that all came to a tragic end. “The Cove” tells the amazing true story of how Psihoyos, O’Barry and an elite team of activists, filmmakers and freedivers embarked on a covert mission to penetrate a hidden cove in Japan, shining light on a dark and deadly secret. The mysteries they uncovered were only the tip of the iceberg.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n By some odd coincidence, the guy that directed this film is a guy named Louie Psihoyos<\/strong>. Another LOUIE? Just what does it mean, anyways? Go figure…<\/p>\n Here’s a couple of reviews for this movie that I will definitely be seeing…<\/p>\n New York Times review<\/a><\/p>\n Metroactive review by Richard Von Buscack<\/a><\/p>\n
