Just because somebody is French doesn't necessarily mean they are currently posting from FRANCE. There ARE airplanes, you know.

Its Mathieu - I am certain. Don't worry about that.

But Mathieu - that is another good reason to register; it would keep others from being able to pretend to be you.

Thank you for posting on Fornits and clarifying the issues raised on this forum relative to the documentary.

If I may, I'd like to propose that you consider creating a website strictly for the promotion of the documentary, The Lost Children of Tranquility Bay.

The website could include clips, a summary of the documentary and perhaps a comments section, links to articles, advocacy websites who have no interest (financial or otherwise) in the documentary, etc.

Other documentaries have done this and been quite successful.  If the documentary could at least be released in a DVD format, this would be an excellent way to market it for sale to the public (or inform them on how and where they can purchase a copy).

Thanks again for your post and kudos for producing such an excellent work on this very troubling issue.

I am sorry if the personal agenda of others may be creating problems but as you say, there are other obstacles.  

Perhaps putting some distance between the promotion of this documentary and these persons by creating a separate website for the documentary would help, even if the documentary can not be viewed in DVD format at this time, I believe having it's own website would lead to more widespread exposure.

* not a documentary, this is a fictionalized version of a true story

Mathieu:  Can you at least tell us who is stopping the film? We hear it is WWASP and we hear it is Sue Scheff. Can you at least tell us who is stopping it?



--- Quote from: ""Mathieu Verboud"" ---Hi to all

I am Mathieu Verboud, co-director of the documentary film
" Tranquility Bay".

Thanks to those who show an interest in our film. We too want to see the film aired in the U.S and anywhere else.

One of the reasons the film has not yet been released in the U.S is... the 'obstrusive' attitude of a very small number of individuals involved and/or featured in the film. It is true that families or individuals related to the fight against WWASP are often difficult to live with... The word " trial" or "legal charges" is something you hear time and time again. These people don't understand that this film is for them but it's not their film ! And quite frankly, there is not much our production company can do to help clear things out.

Also, I want to highlight the fact that we have no indication that TV editing commissionners in the U.S would show an interest in the film. So that you know, the film sold quite well in the rest of the world but early signals suggest Americans could feel uncomfortable adressing the issue of tough love programs through a foreign eye... or even adressing the issue at all.

Look at the festivals. No North American film festival ever selected the film. Not even Sundance (based in Utah !). Yet, the film was selected at IDFA Amsterdam (one of the most prominent doc film festivals in the world), and various others places and it was even awarded in an international film festival in France.

So the "story" here is very much petty rivalries among activists.. but it's also broader and it's disturbing.  The interest in our film comes mostly from 'consumers', not from TV programs suppliers.

Now, I hope you understand why time drags.. and will probably for long, if nothing is done.
 
Anyone seeking more information should contact Zadig Productions, in Paris.

And again, thanks for those who want to help the film get aired in the U.S.

Mathieu Verboud
