ALIENS FOR JERRY

Picture
Vancouver filmmakers Elvira Lount and and Laurence Keane are currently developing a comedy-drama ALIENS FOR JERRY, based on their experiences, and Elvira's diaries, while volunteering on the 1992 Brown For President campaign.

Elvira and Laurence spent much of 1992 as volunteers on California Governor Edmund G. (Jerry) Brown's US Presidential Campaign. Elvira was part of the "Media Watch" team. Laurence was a grassroots organizer for several states. Both Elvira and Laurence attended the Democratic National Convention in New York in July 1992 as the "Jerry Brown Video Crew" contributing to a television documentary about Jerry, broadcast nationally in the US. 

​Jerry Brown: California Secretary of State (1971–1975). Two term Governor of California (1975-1983) aka "Governor Moonbeam"! Presidential Candidate 1976, 1980, 1992. Mayor of Oakland, California (1998 - 2006). Attorney General of California (2007-2011). Elected Governor of California for a 3rd term Nov 2, 2020, and for a 4th term on Nov 4, 2014. Currently the subject of a PBS American Masters Documentary Jerry Brown: The Disrupter premiering on Sept 15, 2023. (See trailer below).


How Jerry Brown Became ‘Governor Moonbeam’​
"For the uninitiated, ‘Governor Moonbeam’ became Mr. Brown’s intractable sobriquet, dating back to his days as governor between 1975 and 1983, when his state led the nation in pretty much everything — its economy, environmental awareness and, yes, class-A eccentrics.

The nickname was coined by Mike Royko, the famed Chicago columnist, who in 1976 said that Mr. Brown appeared to be attracting “the moonbeam vote,” which in Chicago political parlance meant young, idealistic and nontraditional. The term had a nice California feel, and Mr. Royko eventually began applying it when he wrote about the Golden State’s young, idealistic and nontraditional chief executive. He found endless amusement — and sometimes outright agita — in California’s oddities, calling the state “the world’s largest outdoor mental asylum.” NY Times, March 6, 2010
