"It makes the school look great, and destroys the myth that UVSC isn't a serious school." Greenstreet has hopes that the film will have a strong impact on students around the country. "People just aren't getting along when it comes to civil discourse on America," said Greenstreet, "there are a lot of wedges between a lot of communities." He is enthusiastic that this "slice of history will improve civil discourses" and show people "how to get along with opposing viewpoints." "The media portrays [issues] as republican vs. democrat," said Greenstreet, "and This Divided State' shows that there are many [other] voices that need to be heard." The tour will conclude back where the film was conceived, Utah. The final screening will be at the University of Utah on May 3. This, as well as all of the other screenings (excluding the premiere), will be free of charge. Within a few months after the tour, Greenstreet plans to release a DVD of the documentary. In addition, a few companies have expressed interest in sponsoring a full theatrical release of the film. Those seeking further information about the tour or the film itself can visit www.thisdividedstate.com. During the tour, an online journal will be kept by Greenstreet with updates and other tour information. bigger," said Greenslreet, recalling why he had started filming for the documentary in the first place. In this case, Greenstreet's intuition paid off a lot more than he had expected. The young filmmaker spent so much time on the film that he ended up dropping out of BYU. "I was spending all day at UVSC," he said, "I just decided instead of hurting my grades to drop out of school." Grades aside, thefilmhas kept him so busy that he currently has not made plans to continue with his film degree at BYU. "I learned two years worth of film school in five months," Greenstreet said. Not only is the film's exposure good for Greenstreet's budding film career, but it is also good for UVSC. Phil Gordon, professor and chair of the communications department said, "I think [the tour] is an amazing UVSC promotional opportunity." "This will really help promote UVSC's national reputation," said Gordon, "all these top schools are wanting to see what our students are doing and what our campus is like. They will be talking about our school at Harvard, UCLA, [and] Berkeley." Gordon is anticipating that the film's promotional capabilities will help attract new students from out of state and interest new potential faculty members who might not have considered coming to UVSC before.
