The following is the list of people that have stated that have
written that they would like to view the tape...

Michael Moore
J. H. Weaver
Clint Brubakken
Koji Hayakawa

If you want to make a meeting of this remember copyright issues...
Due to my working hours I have been unable to attend any of the
meetings.

I can give the tape(s) to one person.. but what happens after
that....  The tapes can be picked up when ever....

I also recorded the movie "Startup.Com" the story of a ".COM" that
almost made it.... but failed.
If I would of looked at the whole programming listing that night I

J.T.S. Moore        2001        85 MINS, Color
In opposition to large corporations like Microsoft, many
independent software creators are freely sharing program source
code and collaborating internationally via the internet. This
revolution has been dubbed the Open Source Movement and its story,
told in this documentary by J.T.S. Moore, features interviews with
computer visionaries, proponents of free software and the creators
of the Linux operating system including Linus Torvalds, Eric
Raymond and Richard Stallman. "It's a testament to Moore's skill as
a documentaries that he manages to encapsulate the entirety of the
open source software movement and keep non-techheads awake
simultaneously" - Austin Chronicle. TVPG

Chris Hegedus    Jehane Noujaim        2001            103 MINS,
Color
Appeared at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival
This fascinating documentary, co-directed by Chris Hegedus (THE WAR
ROOM) and Jehane Noujaim, follows the dizzying highs and final,
painful lows of a fledgling internet company. Founded by friends
Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and Tom Herman, govWorks.com was supposed to
revolutionize the way people interacted with government
bureaucracy; the film chronicles the pair as they secure financing,
make deals and steadily increase the size of their empire as much
through energetic enthusiasm and luck as through talent. When
things start to fall apart - deadlines are missed, revenues fall
and competing enterprises seem primed to overtake them - the
rapport between the two men becomes strained until a previously
unimaginable rift occurs. "One of the most involving pieces of
eavesdropping you're likely to experience" - Elvis Mitchell, The
New York Times. (2001) R (AL)
