Well into post, we're here to raise finishing funds. It's as simple as that. WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT? “The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism” explores the incisive work of leading cultural intellectual & best-selling author George Monbiot ("Out of the Wreckage", “Regenesis”), in the latest project from award-winning documentary filmmakers Peter Hutchison & Lucas Sabean (“Requiem for the American Dream”, “Healing From Hate”, “Devil Put the Coal in the Ground”). Asking the crucial question: “Neoliberalism: do you know what it is?”, The Invisible Doctrine deconstructs the roots, secretive propagation and deep impact of a doctrine that has played a profound role in transforming our economics, politics, environment, and even how we’ve come to view ourselves - transforming us from citizens into consumers in the process. This “capitalism on steroids” - with a focus on corporate deregulation, slashing taxes on the wealthy, the privatization of public services & resources, and eviscerating the power of labor unions – has been indicted for a stunning variety of crises. From the offshoring of manufacturing & wealth; to soaring economic inequality; to the boom & bust cycle of meltdowns & bailouts; to the hollowing out of public health & education; to environmental devastation & climate change; to the erosion of democracy & rise of authoritarianism – neoliberalism lies at the core. Yet few of us understand what neoliberalism actually IS. “The Invisible Doctrine” explores the secret history of neoliberalism – from its development in the late ‘30s by a pair of obscure political philosophers (in exile from Nazi-occupied Austria), to its clandestine propagation by a wealthy elite, to the covert history of think tanks and dark money, to the rise of its influence in the US & UK administrations of the 70s and 80s, to the ideology that has come to control our lives today – the only thing “liberal” about neoliberalism is its single-minded commitment to allowing corporations to operate as freely and unrestricted as possible, damn the consequences. Far from another exercise in “talking heads” pedagogical film making, the film’s aesthetics will rely heavily on visually-stunning, cutting edge Artificial Intelligence-driven imagery - to be artfully married with rarely seen archival & news footage, and bespoke animation in order to bring a much-needed “new political narrative” to life. George has spent a lifetime directly engaged in environmental research & activism around the globe, strengthened by his innovative efforts towards community building and civic engagement. As a result, ”The Invisible Doctrine” does more than merely provide a critique of the forces that have come to guide our lives, it provides a way forward – proposing avenues for the revitalization of community, the commons, democratic participation, and reclamation of government. Offering up a vital and refreshing counter-narrative to neoliberal thought, it's a call-to-arms: that the time to reevaluate our roles as consumers – and our place as citizens – is long overdue. This film provides the seeds for that transformation, and a return to “the person who lives inside us, who has been there all along.” PRODUCTION DETAILS So, where are we at? We're deep into post, but need finishing funds to get us to the finish line. With traditional funding sources openly reticent to support a project that peels back the layers & influence of neoliberalism, we're turning to you - THE PEOPLE - to help us get to a rough cut and hit the festival circuit come winter/spring of 2024. Money raised will go to editorial, music (specifically, our long-time collaborator Landon Knoblock), image licensing and analogue & AI animation creation. If we can reach our STRETCH GOAL of $70,000, that will allow us to include a color grade, sound mix, Legal/Fair Use Opinion Letter, E&0, DCP and delivery elements into the mix. THE TEAM GEORGE MONBIOT As a young man, George Monbiot spent six years working as an investigative journalist in West Papua, Brazil and East Africa, during which time he was shot at, shipwrecked, beaten up, stung into a poisoned coma by hornets, lost for days in a rainforest, and (incorrectly) pronounced clinically dead in a hospital in northern Kenya. Today, he is known for his environmental and corporate activism, and writes a weekly column for The Guardian, concentrating on political philosophy in relation to ecological and social problems. Among his body of work are "Feral: Rewilding the Land, Sea and Human Life"; "The Age of Consent"; and "Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning". His more recent books include the best-sellers "Out of the Wreckage: A New Politics for an Age of Crisis", "Regenesis", and the forthcoming "Invisible Doctrine: The Secret Life of Neoliberalism" - a collaboration with filmmaker Peter Hutchison. He has made a number of videos. One of them, "How Wolves Change Rivers", based on an extract from his latest (of several) TED Talks has been watched 40 million times on YouTube. PETER HUTCHISON & LUCAS SABEAN: EAT THE MOON FILMS Eat the Moon Films is a collaboration between award-winning documentary filmmakers Peter Hutchison & Lucas Sabean. Impact-driven storytellers with a primary focus on social justice issues, their work is dedicated to fostering meaningful dialogue as a catalyst for tangible change. Their prolific output includes "Devil Put the Coal in the Ground" (2022), a holistic look at the ravages of extractive industry and corporate power in West Virginia, and winner of 6 festival “Best Feature” awards. The SIMI-award winning "Healing From Hate" (2020) - an exploration of hate group activity as seen through the lens of masculinity – been described as a “raw masterpiece”. The recent “The Cure For Hate: A Former White Supremacist Confronts the Legacy of the Holocaust” (2023) is poised to embark upon a 6-month Social Impact tour, underwritten by the Center for Prevention Programs & Partnerships. Their longstanding commitment to issues around male identity has resulted in the films "You Throw Like a Girl: The Blind Spot of Masculinity", "Angry White Men: Masculinity in the Age of Trump", and "The Man Card: White Male Identity Politics from Nixon to Trump". Prior to the Eat the Moon partnership, Hutchison is best known for his work "Requiem for the American Dream: Featuring Noam Chomsky" – a NY Times Critics Pick, #1 doc on iTunes; the book version a NYTimes Bestseller translated into over 2 dozen languages. Peter holds an MS in Counseling Psychology/Systems Dynamics, Lucas an MFA from Boston University in Film Production. RISKS AND CHALLENGES Risk isn't in the foreground of concerns for us – we're experienced filmmakers with a proven track record, who understand the myriad challenges inherent in film making. With the proper resources to work with, we're confident in our ability to not merely complete the film - but ensure it reaches a broad audience and creates the intended impact. The primary challenge we've faced with this project lies in the fundraising itself. Despite our shared experience & success, there is a clear reticence from traditional funding sources to support a project that peels back the layers and influence of neoliberalism. This may come as no surprise, considering the material at hand (and one can only speculate on the influence - direct or indirect - that funding sources may hold over the institutions they support). The "Invisible Doctrine", however, is truly a project that's "of and for the people" - something baked into the film's DNA. With this in mind, we've pivoted our efforts towards non-traditional sources - specifically, this crowdfunding campaign (i.e. you, the people). If there's ever been a film project that's fitting & appropriate for a crowdfunding campaign, in our view, this is it. Of course, the much larger existential risk - for us all - lies in the reality that neoliberal policies are fundamentally incompatible with the preservation of life on earth as we know it. As our consumption (also our defining habit), increasingly pushes the earth's systems to a tipping point, we find ourselves at a crossroads: has the time to re-evaluate our most basic assumptions finally arrived? Are we prepared to tear down the cloak of invisibility that shields neoliberalism's underlying motives, methods, and deceptions? Are we ready to speak it's name?
