Grassroots Ron Paul Docum3ntary in the works - Help Us Name It!!
Pre-Teaser Trailer Here!!
http://www.youtube.com/wa...
Some of you may have seen this thread from our recent 10,000 mile roadtrip interviewing members and elements of the RP2008 grassroots. We have nuggets of gold captured within our 30+ hours of footage, which we are slowly going through and dissecting.
We have been debating the name for the documentary, and damn it, we're having a hell of a time nailing it down. How can you sum up all that has happened in just a few words? The title is a key part to making it a success.
My original title idea was "The Last Statesman" and then a subtitle along the lines of "How Ron Paul Lit A Grassroots Bonfire".
But I think the title needs to be more clever. The doc is going to tie in the Green Bay, WI to MLPS Walk4Freedom as a post-campaign example of what the RP campaign has produced and inspired. It's going to cut back into time going though the presidential campaign from the perspective of the grassroots creativity and efforts.
The audience demographic for the doc is of course supporters, but, perhaps more importantly, also for non-supporters/interested parties for the historical record. We have quite a story to tell. Obviously we know we must grow the movement. We hope to convert new minds by showing what happened during RP's campaign, and why. This could be an important tool for the future, and we're going to do our best to make it powerful and informative.
We will have a section on the media bias and attacks.
We'll also be looking for particular footage, so if anyone has original footage (best if original and unseen), we would love to see it!! We also need full res recordings of all of RP's media appearances during the primaries and from the Republican primary debates. We'll be posting a new thread when we're ready to engage in the footage collection stage. Anyone who contributes footage will have their name in the credits and get a comp copy of the DVD.
So.....does anyone have any ideas to contribute? We need a damn good title. We're shooting for a May 2009 release, which would be ideal. That being said, these things can take years sometimes - but with Obama winning and the Repub party in disarray, we realize this is needed sooner than later.
A teaser pre-trailer is in the works, which we hope to release by early December. We're taking our time to do it right. Just wait....he he :)

The Shot Heard 'Round the World
Remember that old School House Rock tune? "The Shot Heard 'Round the World - Was the Start of the Revolution."
Book Title
Here is my suggestion, in the words of Dr. Paul himself:
"FREEDOM IS POPULAR: The Seeds of a R3VOLUTION."
How about....
Growing Freedom
Title isn't too specific...so curiousity might get the casual observer.
Doesn't mention Ron Paul directly so it might not get pushed to the side by folks that only know Ron Paul from what MSM has told them.
Is a true testiment to what we (the grassroots) are trying to do..
We're Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take This Any More !

It's simple, to-the-point, and pretty much explains it all.
"Let Freedom Ring: An American Revolution"
"I believe that when we overdo our military aggressiveness, it actually weakens our national defense. I mean, we stood up to the Soviets. They had 40,000 nuclear weapons. Now we're fretting day in and day and night about third-world countries that have no army, navy or air force." -Ron Paul

QUIXOTIC!
you are right!!! when in the hell have you EVER seen that word except in every single article about Ron Paul!
I think it pertains to his grassroots helpers as well. plus it's mysterious...people won't know what the heck it means unless you reference the word a few times during the movie.
Maybe do some research to see exactly HOW MANY TIMES it appeared in relation to Ron Paul in published material...and start the movie off with that fun fact.
The branding on the posters, the DVD jackets, Tshirts and webpages could be REALLY COOL!
Hmm...
You're right...
A google search of: "ron paul" +QUIXOTIC
equals 18,200 results. This could work. IMO
Using your own words...
How about "Nuggets of Gold"...from an American Statesman
Brushfires of Jeffersonian Principles
thats all i can think of for now

Something like that. Can't wait to see it.

Title with quick marketing analysis
"Grassroots: Campaign for Liberty" its simple, easy to remember, and its what set us apart from the other campaigns.
It references Roots which gives it an epic feel while adding something new.
In marketing memorability of a product is important so if we do go with one of the Campaign for Liberty titles, rather than as a subtitle than I would think it would be better to abbreviate it to C.4.L. As a subtitle though I think the full words could be used.
My problem with using C4L though is that C4 is a bomb and is than linked to terrorism.
Just "Grassroots" would also work very well.
