San Bruno Mountain Watch recently posted on their web site a statement about our film. The headline on their home page claims that our film is not “their” Butterflies & Bulldozers. Well, they are absolutely correct, it is not their film. It never was their film. Nor should anyone think that Butterflies & Bulldozers was ever intended to be a film for, about, or by San Bruno Mountain Watch.
Butterflies & Bulldozers is an independent documentary that does not advocate the views of any organization; rather it explores the fifty-year fight to save San Bruno Mountain with interviews that provide a variety of perspectives. David Schooley and San Bruno Mountain Watch play a large role in this ongoing struggle, and the film covers their story in detail. There are, however, other ways of looking at the complex questions raised by San Bruno Mountain. Most people who have seen the film tell us they appreciate our balanced and objective approach to the subject. We look forward to sharing it widely with local communities and to hearing your comments.
