On this episode of Newt's world, over the last 50 years, the left has poured time, money and creativity into developing the institutions to support a storytelling culture.

Looking only at documentaries and small independent features by some estimates,

the left spends tens of billions of dollars annually.

On the other side, the right spends maybe tens of millions of dollars on films and television.

So over 50 years, this gap has grown to hundreds of billions of dollars, which is underwritten

a progressive ecosystem of supportive and reinforcing institutions.

In addition to many powerful films, the left starts nurturing young

filmmakers right from the beginning of their career and then at every step along the

way. My guest today are putting a stake in the ground

to help mentor right-of-center filmmakers through a new incubator program

they are working. I'm really pleased to welcome my guests, Michael Pac,

producer of over 15 award-winning documentaries, and president and CEO of Palladium Pictures,

and his son Thomas Pac, director of Palladium Pictures and his son Thomas Beck,

director of Palladium Pictures Incubator Program,

which is training the next generation of documentary filmmakers. Michael and Thomas welcome and thank you for joining me on Newt's World.

Thank you for having us on the show, Newt.

Michael, you've been doing this a long time, we've known each other, gosh, I guess 30 years now.

Can you talk about why you're launching Palladium Pictures.com slash incubator?

Well I think it's contained a lot in your introduction. As you say, and I have written about this

in a couple of places, including in real clear,

and now I've written it in an Abed form

on the Washington Examiner.
