Podcast appearances and mentions of Jacob Kornbluth

Thank you so much for joining me in this community. It's an experiment in group learning and teaching about the American system — and it's succeeding far beyond my expectations. Your interest and enthusiasm make it all worthwhile. Please let others know!In preparation for my course on Wealth and Poverty, which starts Friday on this page, you may find useful the documentary below. It's called Inequality for All. I made it a few years ago with the talented director Jacob Kornbluth. It's won many awards, and is used in college classrooms across America. As you'll see, the doc begins and ends in an earlier version of the same course you'll be taking starting Friday (although you'll be taking it remotely). The doc runs 1 hour and 15 minutes. Think of it as pleasant homework. (Having trouble viewing the video on this page? Try clicking this direct link.) This is a public episode.

Timely, topical, and fascinating on multiple levels is the only way to describe this episode of BEHIND THE LENS with a nice mix for all thanks to special guest JACOB KORNBLUTH and some exclusive interviews with award-worthy filmmakers of COCO and composer CARTER BURWELL! No stranger to BTL, director JACOB KORNBLUTH is back talking about his latest documentary, SAVING CAPITALISM, based on the best-seller by former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich. Kornbluth and Reich first teamed up some years ago for the acclaimed INEQUALITY FOR ALL and have since gone on to not only collaborate on some 40 short videos which have gone viral with more than 250 million YouTube views, but also founded the non-profit, INEQUALITY MEDIA. Although a sobering subject, with SAVING CAPITALISM Jacob and Bob give us hope for the future, not to mention hope for filmmakers as Jacob discusses the journey to bring this book to the screen, the total shift in the political climate while in production, losing and then regaining focus, and more, as we dig into this rich collaboration between Reich and Kornbluth. Before Jacob joins us at the midpoint of the show, we're talking more COCO and specifically, the task of skeleton design. For those of you who saw the film this weekend, you'll appreciate hearing what director Lee Unkrich, producer Darla Anderson, and writer/co-director Adrian Molina have to say on the subject. And take a listen to our exclusive interview with composer CARTER BURWELL. Riding high with a trifecta of WONDERSTRUCK, GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN, and THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING MISSOURI (all award-worthy contenders), we discuss all three films from composition to instrumentation and emotionality. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

In this interview, documentary filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth talks about personal storytelling, archival material, why he was attracted to big ideas as a filmmaker and how to find the authentic moment. 'Saving Capitalism' follows former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich as he takes his book and his views to the heart of conservative America to speak about our economic system and present big ideas for how to fix it. The film is now streaming on Netflix.

The American middle class is slowly disappearing and what can be done about it? That is one of the many key questions addressed in the new Netflix documentary SAVING CAPITALISM. The film is based on Robert Reich’s 2015 book which discusses how the country faces its greatest wealth disparity in years as the middle class is shrinking and a new oligarchy is rising. Reich explores the reasons why the economic system that once made America strong is suddenly failing as weJacll as how it can be fixed. It’s a MUST watch for every American worker to view. See https://www.netflix.com/title/80127558 Our guest for this segment is Jacob Kornbluth, the director of SAVING CAPITALISM.

Josh Kornbluth and Jacob Kornbluth, creators of the film “Love and Taxes,” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. Josh Kornbluth is a noted monologuist, having come into the field after seeing Spaulding Gray in action. Jacob Kornbluth, his younger brother, is a documentarian working with Robert Reich on Reich's blogposts on Facebook, and director of tthe forthcoming film, “Saving Capitalism.” Together, they've created a film based on one of Josh's monologues, using the monologue interspersed with comic re-enactments and dramatic scenes, featuring several Bay Area actors. In this interview, they talk about the film, Josh talks about his work and Jake talks about becoming a director and the nuts and bolts of filming. A shorter version of this interview aired on KPFA's Arts-Waves program. The post Josh and Jacob Kornbluth: Love and Taxes appeared first on KPFA.

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich makes an eloquent and impassioned argument about how the devastating effects of America's widening income inequality not only threaten the middle class but also the very foundation of democracy itself.Jacob Kornbluth is an award winning writer and director of feature films, TV, and theater. He has had 3 feature films premiere at the Sundance Film Festival – HAIKU TUNNEL (Sony Pictures Classics) and THE BEST THEIF IN THE WORLD (Showtime Independent) were narrative films, and INEQUALITY FOR ALL (Radius / Weinstein) was a documentary. INEQUALITY, his most recent film, won the special jury prize for excellence in filmmaking at Sundance 2013, did the best box office for an issue doc since WAITING FOR SUPERMAN, and is out on DVD and streaming now. In 2014 he worked on the Showtime series about climate change, “Years of Living Dangerously”, that is executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Swartzenegger, and Jerry Weintraub. His work on that show won an Emmy.Jacob started his career as a writer and director in the theater. He collaborated on and directed three successful solo shows in San Francisco. "THE MOISTURE SEEKERS", "PUMPING COPY" (both with Josh Kornbluth), and "THE FACE BY THE DOOR" (with Christina Robbins). All three were nominated for or won "Best Of The Bay" awards and successfully toured the country, and a later version of "THE MOISTURE SEEKERS" (called "Red Diaper Baby") has been included in anthologies of the best one man shows of the 90's.

On a cold weekend afternoon last February, my son Caleb and I were searching for a good movie on Netflix. And we ended up watching a documentary called Inequality for All.The star of the documentary is Robert Reich, who served as Secretary of Labor during the (Bill) Clinton administration, and who now is a professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkeley. In the film, Reich sketches a rather frightening portrait of how income inequality is crippling our economy and our nation. But what makes Reich’s argument so riveting is not its moral clarity, but its practicality. Put another way: Reich doesn’t simply insist that the growing gulf between rich and poor is unfair or wrong or unjust (although he certainly says all those things). What he emphasizes is that economic inequality is unsustainable. That if we maintain our current course, and we do nothing to strengthen the middle class, then our whole economy will collapse.It’s been about a year since Caleb and I first watched Inequality for All, and it’s not an overstatement to say that Caleb’s enthusiasm for Bernie — and probably mine too — can be tracked back to this documentary. Jacob Kornbluth is the director of the film, and the other day we talked about how his documentary came to be — and why it could almost serve as a campaign film for Bernie 2016.

Aired 092913 A new documentary film opened Friday 9/27 in 23 cities, including Los Angeles, starring former Labor Secretary in the Clinton Administration, Berkeley professor, best-selling author, and frequent guest on this program, Robert Reich. Titled INEQUALITY FOR ALL, can it do for this "inconvenient truth" what the original did for climate change? My first guest this week will be the film's director JACOB KORNBLUTH. Early reviews are positive. It's got a Rotten Tomatoes score of 93%. Here's Ken Turan in the LA TIMES: Smart, funny and articulate, Robert Reich is the university professor we all wish we'd had. He's so accessible and entertaining he takes a subject that sounds soporific and makes it come alive like you wouldn't believe. Here's just a few numbers to remind you how crazy things have gotten: * In 1978, a typical male worker made $48K, a typical member of the top 1% $393K. In 2010, a typical male worker made $34K - a drop of 30%, while a typical member of the top 1% made $1,101K a gain of 180%. * In 2013, the richest 400 Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150M. * And as remarkable as those numbers are, I think the most important number in the film is this one: Consumer spending = 70% of the US economy. (i.e., Middle class = job creators). The last quarter of the show, we'll get an important update on the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant from HARVEY WASSERMAN.
