Take a Journey Through Space and Time with This Dallas Candidate Lady

Debbie Georgatos doesn't release "campaign ads" in her quest for the leadership of Dallas County's Republican party. She releases films. Epic two-minuters that challenge our very perceptions of reality, with images: Little elephants flopping around while being blasted with hoses, Charlie Chaplin's surreal critiques of Fordist industrialism, wormholes and super-massive black holes, shattered Detroit buildings from Hell. All of this, and all backed by her meditations on Dallas County becoming a "super-massive blue hole," sans Republicans, until the end of time. This is basically Terrence Malick's new movie.
