Special Screening of The Committee
On Thursday, June 4th at 7pm there will be a special screening of
the documentary The Committee, a film about State Senator Charley
Johns and his secret legislative committee to expel Gay and Lesbian
professors and students from the state public university
system. Chuck Woods, Senator Bob Graham, and others are featured
in the film. The filmmakers are trying to raise money to get the film
broadcast on Public Television. They have a crowd-sourced funding
campaign at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-committee-
public-television-campaign.
In order to prepare the film for national broadcasts, the filmmakers
must pay for Errors and Omission Insurance, purchase broadcasting
rights for imagines, sounds and music, and hire a company to produce
FCC required closed captioning, among other things. Once the
filmmakers have completed these tasks, the film can broadcast on any
PBS station around the country and can then be distributed for
scheduling.
The Committee has screened in Film Festivals around the world and won numerous awards: Hampton
Dunn Broadcasting Award, Broadcast Education Association Award for Mixed Video, Love Your Shorts
Film Festival for Best Documentary, International Jury Award for Best Documentary, Durban Gay
& Lesbian Film Festival, South Africa and a prestigious Suncoast Emmy Award for Best Historical
Documentary. Many people have seen this film and have been moved. Now it is time to bring the story
to a national
audience on broadcast television. Come out to the event at the Pride Center and see the film. If you can,
support the funding campaign. Most importantly, tell people about this project and what they can do to
help. Find us on Facebook to know the latest news: https://www.facebook.com/thecommittee.
