Perdie Across America - Theatrical Trailer

[ThePinStripedPJs]

So you guys came in my parents restaraunt today (Chief's Hideaway) and I am really proud of what you are doing! I wish I could join you in the movement! I respect people who fight for what they believe in!! Keep it up!

[treecowboy1100]

pkelly135 why do you want to continue politics as usual? Dump the Dems and Republicans.

[Annieflies]

Matt, chatted with you tonight at Dollards. I am so proud of what you are doing. Don't let anyone's words stand in the way or tear you down. They aren't DOING anything. You are. Keep it up and I can't wait for the next episode!

[aa5029]

I love the irony in the last few seconds. You might as well have said "Instead of letting the government waste your money, let me waste it." Shame, I was behind you until I saw that.

[perdiefilms]

Nice spin on irony.

Believe me, we will manage without you.

[Juliane412]

PALIN? Common Perdie!

I know we have never talked about politics, but she is just ridiculous. I know I might not be so deeply into the US politics, however everything I heard about her is just awful. How can somebody be against abortition and sex before marriage while her daughter is pregnant at a young age?

Well whatever, you video is good. I support your dedication (however I can't support your opinion) But I see that you stand behind your word.

Greets from Germany,

Jules

[perdiefilms]

Thanks Jules!

but Palin doesn't control abortion or marriage rights, the state does. I completely disagree with Palin on those issues, but I can tell you that she cannot change those at all. Only the individuals states can.  That's something that a lot of people don't know!

good to hear from you Jules!!!

[SangerZonvolt]

So, if you disagree with her in such important topics, why would you still vote her (I´m reffering to your answer to misslilac). In which topics do you agree with her.

Please note: I´m from Germany and not that much in american politics, I´m just asking out of pure courisosity.

[perdiefilms]

hey!

the president cannot change the rules on Abortion or Gay Marriage. In the United States, it is a state ruling. A lot of people don't really know that.

Palin knows this and I know she wouldn't interfere with it.

What is important is the economy and Palin has been know for fixing a bad economy, taking out corrupt politicians, and balancing the budget.

the media makes her seem horrible, but she is actually a great person

[SangerZonvolt]

An interessting view on the things. Sorry, I would like to discuss the matter some more, but I fear I would only speculate ´cause I really don´t know much about her.

But I really can´t imagine somebody who´s against Abortion as up to date with other topics. It just seems narrowheaded.

Again, I don´t know her, it´s just what I´m guessing.

[Skull12o12]

Perdie, i saw you walking today in Churchville Maryland. When i was home, i typed in the website advertise on your poster.

Extremely good website! We need more people like you to change the world! Goodluck! 100% Support!

[treecowboy1100]

Juliane412 of course everything you hear about Palin is awful, she doesn't go with the flow of normal politics. So that is how the media will portray her. Who better to be against premarital sex than a parent with a pregnant teen?

[randomhero101495]

hey i met you in mattituck,long island, new york...my friend asked if you wanted money..the funny thing is when i saw you from a distance im like look at this hippy and then i met you and im like wow this guy really cares about the country thats so cool...be my friend on youtube

-good luck

[misslilac]

i spot race st! and a possible ron paul rally? i really hope you're a ron paul fan. good luck on your journey.

[perdiefilms]

Ron Paul's a good guy. I would take him over either of the past candidates, but I think I would vote for Guiliani, Palin, or Romney over him.

[treecowboy1100]

perdiefilms, You don't feel that Guiliani would be Republican politics as usual?

[Maureen712]

Good Luck! I hope you get a lot of support! ***** I'll be watching future videos. I appreciate what you're doing for America.

[purplehazed54]

This looks very interesting. Can't wait to see your journey. And don't listen to those wannabe film critics. Your video is great as it is.

[sperdie1]

I'm proud to see people out there like you that are passionate about our country and see the horrific dangers that our slide into socialism presents. Stand Tall. There will be many against what you stand for: personal responsibility and freedom.  As I see the current administration spend money that they do not have at an unprecedented rate, I am deeply saddened that the greatest country the world has ever known is being reduced to a third word country. You have my support and gratitude.

[neotreo]

wow... good luck dude. congrats

[perdiefilms]

Thanks! I'm going to need all the luck I can get

[picopallasi]

If you're serious about this you may want to re-think this trailer. It makes it look like a joke. It makes it look like you're actually mocking people who disagree with federal government's reckless policies.

[perdiefilms]

The purpose of the trailer is to call attention to this miniseries coming up and to raise the question about spending. (not answer it) This trailer is not made to satisfy any partisan effort. It is made to be questionable so that people with all kinds of opinions will be exposed to it.

The miniseries, Perdie Across America, will actually be about questions, including why I have a strong conviction of the dangers of massive government spending.

I appreciate your critique though. Thanks!

[picopallasi]

Yeah.. that has nothing to do with what I was talking about. I'll clarify

You have to be very careful when choosing music for film if you want to be taken seriously.

I'm totally in support of people rallying against our ridiculous federal government, but it needs poise, maturity and a professional appearance if you want to be taken seriously. Part of that poise is choosing the right music. This is my profession, but I understand as an indie director I'm just not 'getting what you're going for'.

[perdiefilms]

Thank you very much for your insight

[purplehazed54]

Maybe you don't get because you're thick as a brick.

[perdiefilms]

mmmhmm...sticks and stones friend.

[purplehazed54]

I don't think you read my other comment. I was talking about the guy that that was criticizing your video. I'm on your side.

[picopallasi]

"Maybe you don't get because you're thick as a brick."

yeah.. enough said.

[letsgoaztecs]
