Stop The Presses

Stop The Presses is a 2008 film which discussed how the Internet has changed the nature of print journalism. Notable journalists were interviewed, including Ben Bradlee, Dave Barry, and David Carr, current New York Times media columnist. The Dallas Observer referred to the movie as “surprisingly inspiring, as it points to the inevitable reinvention of an industry in need of new life.” Washington City Paper called the movie “informative, gripping, entertaining, and depressing”.[1][2][3]

The movie was shown at multiple film festivals throughout the United States, including the Denver Film Festival, where it was shown at the Denver Newspaper Agency building.[4][5]

The Big Buy: How Tom DeLay Stole Congress

Main article: The Big Buy: Tom DeLay's Stolen Congress

Mark Birnbaum and Jim Schermbeck co-directed this 2006 75-minute movie, which focused on the Texas criminal investigation of Representative Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader, which eventually led to his downfall. The movie was produced by liberal moviemaker Hollywood producer Robert Greenwald.[6] The documentary attracted attention and controversy.[7][8]

A New York Times critic said the movie “presents its evidence clearly and with a welcome sense of humor.”[9] DeLay refused to interview for the movie, and called it worthless.[10]

Slant 45:The Movie

In 2011, SLANT 45 The Movie, a 90-minute documentary was produced which followed seven teams of children participating in various community service efforts throughout Texas. SLANT 45 – Service Learning Adventures in North Texas – was a youth community service program created by The North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee, and Birnbaum was chosen to make the movie by the Super Bowl XLV host committee and numerous celebrities attended the Texas Premier of the movie.[11][12] [13]

The film featured interviews with former President George W. Bush, his wife Laura Bush and others,[14] and launched in front of attendees including Daryl Johnston, Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach and Super Bowl XLV Host Committee President & CEO Bill Lively.[11]

The Harp Tree

The Harp Tree is a 2009 short film about the sons of Holocaust survivors who traveled throughout Europe trying to find information about family members who were killed by the Nazis.[15] [16]
