Athletic Party Preview -- DON'T HIT ME!

Before you completely flip out, yes, I know Leni Riefenstahl made propaganda films for the Nazis. Even though propaganda, in of itself, is not an arrestable offense – because if it were every actor, actress, writer, pundit, broadcaster and talking head would be in jail right now, sitting in the same cell with Rollo the Mad-Dog Rapist – I know I could have chosen a different film clip to promote next weeks’ Athletic Party at the Cokesbury Party Blog.

But look at the technique here. The camera angles. The focus on the shadows, rather than the persons. Quite remarkable. For a propagandist. Which, if you get right down to it, is what I am. A propagandist for the Cokesbury Party Book.
