Stealing Democracy: The New Politics of Voter Suppression by Spencer Overton
"Election Day is a film about the shining promise of democracy—and its often hollow reality."
—John Sayles, Filmmaker/Actor
Election Day follows an eclectic group of voters over one day, namely Election Day 2004, from the early morning until well after midnight. Capturing people from all walks of life, including an ex-felon voting for the first time at age 50 and a factory worker debating gay marriage with his co-workers, the film presents a glimpse of the real life stories that lie underneath the complex electoral process.
As these stories intertwine, audiences take in a portrait of American elections that is expansive, revealing and intimate. It is an entertaining and sometimes unsettling tapestry of the stories of citizens who are determined on one fateful day to make their vote count.
Election Day is a co-production of Arts Engine, Inc. and the Independent Television Service (ITVS) with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Perhaps the best writing workshop in town!
-Mark Travis (author of The Director’s Journey)
Al Watt's one-day story structure intensive celebrates the power of the unconscious in getting one’s story from their imagination onto the page. The imagination can bypass all of one’s ideas of what the story ought to be, reaching beyond apparent logic, to the bedrock of universal truth. Working in this way, our stories have a chance to come alive, and become surprising, compelling, transformative tales.
This workshop is designed for writers at all levels of experience to develop and deepen a writing process that works!
