I don't remember how I stumbled upon the incredible short films of Matt Wisniewski, but I do remember the immediate impact they had. When I saw the Wisconsin Budget Protest video it felt like it should have been the proper video for the great Arcade Fire-Rebellion (lies) track used as its soundtrack. His editing is fantastic as is the way he frames his shots. I'm not ashamed to admit I teared up when I saw this as it truly captured the feel of what was going on here & what wasn't being reported in the media accurately at all. It was much more than a 'union battle' and much more about people of all walks of life coming together to fight against what everyone in their heart knows is wrong. Civil societies don't attack teachers, children, the poor, the elderly & basically anyone who isn't extremely rich. Enjoy Matt's amazing videos, I've posted the 5 that were my favorites but you can find all of his work on his vimeo channel.
