Wheel On a Stick Part 11
The Cinematic Film Treatment as a stand alone element
in the aesthetic revolution we are now not witnessing
Ideology Cartel
A Dogme 95 gut wrenching revelation of the struggle for political power among lumpen proletariat street derelict elements, their social programming enablers, the news media who profit from the endless stream of human interest reportage that is the meat and potatoes of tabloid editors and family conflict exploitation talk shows, who, after trashing the studio of the Sally Montel Springer Show over an inadvertent comment by the host regarding bathing facilities, sexual proclivities, shopping cart engineering, parasitic organisms and hope, develop their own media outlet, the Overpass Broadcasting Network, which becomes syndicated internationally in 34 languages with a dozen foreign news bureaus bringing the world the latest in updates on all-weather camp locations, squats, instructions for tapping into overhead power lines, shelter construction, medical intervention both emergency and chronic, autonomous self-education, PTSD counseling, gleaning tips, festival organizing and employment grooming, eventually becoming a movement for social change and justice, running political candidates on the Overpass Party Platform advocating rational wealth redistribution and free futons.
