Apparently the DNC is getting into the movie business. The party,
with permission from long-time supporter

Redford
, is holding a fundraiser on Monday in Park City,

Ever concerned about their base, the DNC is asking for only a $250 contribution from “filmmakers,” while other industry insiders will get socked with a $1,000 tab.
The event is like one of many being sponsored by the DNC around the country. No particular candidate is front and center, except one: President George W. Bush.

And why the two-tiered donations? “We want to attract the young people that come to Sundance. If Michael Moore shows up, we’ll hit him up for $1,000.”
