A convention is a convention, whether it belongs to Dentists, Shriners or the
Republican Party, and although a convention of Shriners or dentists may prove to have greater historical significance, the Republican National Convention outweighs them by sheer size and the fact that
the eyes of the world descend upon our cities for a few brief days.

A bit like the film “Ace in the Hole” about a small new event, that quickly becomes a circus, and becomes a store about the people reporting the news rather then the news itself. For a few brief days, and several millions
of dollars The sleepy metropolis of St. Paul gets transformed into Cyber age Tokyo with video screens, art installations, and a variety of other shenanigans; protesters, supporters and miscellaneous circus folk from both sides of the isle.

The film is as much about media as it is the convention itself using work from a number of sources cut together in seamless remix. pieces from major news organizations blend with citizen journalists, protesters, reporters, and plain old citizens. Made in an 8 week period ;this is a pop abstract expressionist unbiased view of very biased process.
