TARP musical parody video wins at LA International Film Festival
Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 9:38AM Last year at a West Hollywood book event, I had the pleasure of meeting the talented and edgy first-time film director, Michael Cornell and executive producer, Tracey Paleo, of the TARP musical parody video, Live my Life. (The main character was inspired by former Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson.)
I loved the video and the passion of its creators. Sometimes, music and lyrics capture more meaning and heart than pundits and articles. Competing with over 700 films from around the world, Live my Life just won honorable mention at the first, new wave 2010 International Film Festival. In June, the video placed in the top five finalists at the 2010 SoCal Film Market. It will be screening this Friday night, Oct 8 at the LAI Film Festival in Santa Monica at 9:30 PM. And in two weeks, on October 16th, it will play as an official selection at the star-studded LA Femme Film Festival. I will be there.

I wonder how Paulson had reacted to this musical parody. His book "On the Brink.." was criticized by a few especially on those parts when he seem to have "glorified" Bush. But what put me off was his seemingly dislike for Palin. He contends that her calling him by his first name "Hank" had rubbed him the wrong way. Paleo might want to come up with Live my Life Part 2. Just asking...
