Why not?
It couldn't possibly be any worse than this:

Need Co-Director/production assist for HBO Project Greenlight "Romney the Racketeer" submit
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are back with their "Project Greenlight" contest seeking submissions by amateur director's; and we are going to submit "Romney the Racketeer" trailer.
To do so, I'm in need of edit software and technical prowess; which I do not posses.
If yours truly tells his own story, it finds deaf ears. When others tell the tale, the results are extraordinary. (As you can see by Matt Taibbi's "Greed and Debt", Wall Street Journal "eToys investors claim conflict at law firm", L.A. Times "Shake-up roils federal prosecutors" {just a few of the 169 + articles written}).
This is not for the timid person (though we can give you "stage" name anonymity - if you so desire).
Already have the script (and Mitt's team trying to shut it down). HBO's litigation department already knows its coming (because the previous President {David Haddad} of Live Planet, was a person I caught pulling a $2 million dollar stunt at eToys.com). I, in turn, cautioned the "legal administrator" thereof that the truth can not be silenced.
So, there you have it, my project quest in a nutshell. Romney, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs simply can not handle public scrutiny of the massive bad faith acts they've stockpiled in our various cases. If HBO buries the submission and/or we don't get the votes I believe we will;
then there's nothing to lose!
However, if the 2 minute trailer goes forward - then ?!?!?!?
-- the reality of this saga is - it is one of the greatest stories not yet (fully) told. Each of the articles out there (such as Taibbi's) has only told a piece of the tale. Here's a more recent submission by the New York Times in March 2013 "Rigging the {eToys} I.P.O. Game".
Cause & Effect = After NY Times Rigging article; Bain cancelled Toys R Us IPO (see story - here)
Many smaller online entities have reported on part of the saga, resulting in over 2 million web hits and over 200,000 Facebook(s) and Twitter(s). Such as Liberals United reporter Ann Werner's (picture of Romney above) story "Romney Sued for RICO". Ann points out how unreported the story remains (not hard to comprehend if you remember that Mitt owns Bain that owns Clear Channel Communication 800 stations of the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Hannity and Glenn Beck).
There's also Addicting Info's Nathan story (immediately following Werner's) of "Romney Slapped with Racketeering".
Finally, there's good old PoliticusUSA.com's Rmuse; who has beaten everyone to the punch (one of the very few who looked at the case information and reported on it when Romney was running in 2012). Rmuse has done 1/2 dozen stories on the issues and was the 1st to report on the fact about the Racketeering side of the case (see his various online articles - here - here and here).
Josh Fox's "Gasland" received an Oscar nomination - not because it was a fantastic production piece; but because the subject matter was true! Reporters and main stream news have been passing up a Pulitzer Prize opportunity; because Bain Capital controls billions of dollars in advertising revenue they can't afford to lose.
What's your excuse for sitting still on the sidelines?
Fame is awaiting!

3. good luck with this.
I'm a content creator and marketer by trade but don't have the video editing skills on the level you require.
I'm also a content creator...
...especially if I ate lunch at one of those roadside burrito wagons.

4. Actually, the script is rather simple and so is the editing. (I'm a newbie at this film stuff).
I've hired an entertainment counsel (as studio's won't talk to you without one {even when they are the ones knocking on the door}). Resulting in learning much (such as - for major studios - insurance is double for non-fiction).
Half of the script is simple screen shots of facts (such as
"Mitt Romney was sued for Racketeering in Los Angeles Federal Court on October 18, 2013".
The issue is - whether or not - this is one's cup of tea!

7. Just rec'd an offer to do the trailer as a cartoon. Some people don't understand.
I'm a victim trying to stop an organized criminal; who is strong enough to steal elections.
Not a guy just pursuing stuff to stop a RWNJ getting into office.

According to the Project Greenlight website, submissions have to be in NLT 8 Aug, he'd better get on it.

I'm thinking just take the below Wile E. Coyote compilation, add the name laserhaas beneath every caption that says Wile E. Coyote, and add the name Mitt Romney beneath every caption that says Road Runner.

Wasn't this thrown out of the courts as being frivolous?
Looks like harassment to me. This guy has been trying to sue Romney since 2000.
He even threatened to sue Eric Holder over something.
-
Is this character aware that it's not 2012? Or does he fear that Romney is working up to a second run in 2016?
Or is the correct response, "Yes, I will have fries with my hamburger?"

He seems to be obsessed. From what I can decipher, he had some connection to a company called etoys that was connected to Bain Capital and Goldman Sacks. Apparently he was prevented from bringing any more lawsuits for 8 1/2 years, which he did until 2012 where it was thrown out again.
So yes, having fries with your hamburger is the correct answer.

Isn't this is the crackpot who declared himself a "private attorney general"?

This dude is an absolute nutbar.

He had a company that was hired to secure the property during the eToys liquidation. A subsidiary of Baine affected the actual liquidation. Haas had no entitlement to anything except his fee. He claims he's entitled to a percentage.

"private attorney general"?
Now that's funny. Sure, from Momsbasementylvania.

There actually is such a thing, it's a sort of way of referring to the way the Federal Qui Tam laws on fraud, waste, and abuse work. It doesn't apply to his stupid-ass case, of course.
-
He is a lunatic and even much of the DUmp regards him as such.
That is an impressive credential.

He did mention in one of his threads about printing out some report and making a trip to his car to put it away.... :rofl:

So does the ACME Company. He's their best customer.
