ACCLAIMED NEW POLITICAL DOCUMENTARY “AMERICAN JOBS” TO PREMIERE IN LOS ANGELES AT THE SILVER LAKE FILM FESTIVAL Sunday, September 26, 2004 at 3:15 p.m. SCREENING WILL FOLLOW THE PANEL DISCUSSION “POLITICS OF FILM” FEATURING FILMMAKER GREG SPOTTS AND OTHER NOTABLE POLITICAL DOCUMENTARIANS

Former MTV Producer Goes From Glitz To Grit In His Debut Political Documentary “American Jobs”: Personal Investigation Explores Loss Of American Jobs To Foreign Competition, Revealing Parallels Between Plant Closures And “Offshore Outsourcing”

WHO:
First-time filmmaker/MTV Producer Greg Spotts returns to Los Angeles for the LA premiere of his acclaimed new political documentary “American Jobs” at the Silver Lake Film Festival. The result of a personal investigation that took Spotts to nineteen cities, the self-funded documentary “American Jobs” is now available for sale on DVD at www.americanjobsfilm.com.

WHAT:
"American Jobs" will be shown at ArcLight Cinemas as part of the Silver Lake Film Festival on Sunday, September 26 at
3:15 PM. Immediately prior to the screening, Spotts will be joined fellow political filmmakers to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities of political documentary filmmakers as their films begin to compete with narrative features at the box-office.

“American Jobs” offers recently laid off garment workers, textile manufacturers, aerospace machinists, engineers, software developers, and computer programmers an opportunity to share their stories, and demonstrates how the NAFTA-inspired movement of manufacturing plants to low-wage countries established a template that is now being used to shift high-skilled white-collar work to
India and other countries.

In his travels, Spotts chronicles the new perils faced by American families, as multinational corporations use “global sourcing” to replace middle-class Americans with lower-wage foreign labor. In the worker’s own words, the documentary reveals families left behind by the brave new world, facing bankruptcy, foreclosure, and no health insurance while they struggle to retrain for an uncertain future.

WHEN/WHERE
The Silver Lake Film Festival screening of “American Jobs” will take place:
Sunday, September 26 at 3:15 PM
ArcLight Cinemas, Theater 13
6360 W Sunset Blvd
Los Angeles, CA
Tickets are $11.00 and may be purchased at the ArcLight Cinema box-office or at arclightcinemas.com
The panel discussion “Politics of Film” will take place before the screening and is included in the price of admission.

ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY: “American Jobs” began as a personal exploration of the widely reported “jobless recovery.” Disturbed by the news that three million American manufacturing jobs had disappeared between 2000 and 2003, Spotts, 36, took six months off from his job as a freelance television producer and hit the road with a video camera.

From January to June 2004, Spotts traveled alone to over nineteen cities and towns in eight states, interviewing workers in their homes. His film offers the workers an opportunity to share their stories, and demonstrates how the NAFTA-inspired movement of manufacturing plants to low-wage countries established a template that is now being used to shift high-skilled white-collar work to
India and other countries.

The Silver Lake Film Festival screening marks the continuation of a ninety-day speaking tour that began in the small manufacturing town of
Kannapolis, NC and will take Spotts to many of the cities and towns where the movie was filmed.

Quiet Riot on DVD: Quiet Riot – 89’ Live in Japan is now available on DVD. 89' Live in Japan was filmed during a tumultuous period for Quiet Riot. With singer Paul Shortino at the helm, the band quickly displayed their versatility and resilience, and rocked crowds the world over on their tour for the release of “QR”. This footage serves as a glimpse into a very interesting and complex chapter of one of the greatest Metal bands of all time.
