Jim Gilliam
Description
Jim Gilliam is a former dot com executive turned activist filmmaker. He is one of the co-founders of Brave New Films, and a producer of Robert Greenwald's "WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price." He is spending much of his time lately creating Brave New Theaters, the people-powered movie distribution platform.
In the wake of 9/11, Gilliam left his position as chief technology officer of high-profile search engine Business.com and devoted his time to more pressing matters. Through MoveOn.org, in 2003, he hooked up with veteran filmmaker Robert Greenwald to research and help produce the groundbreaking documentary, "Uncovered: The War on Iraq" about the faulty intelligence that led the U.S. to war. Bringing together the worlds of film, politics, and the internet, "Uncovered" defined a new generation of films -- the grassroots political documentary. Gilliam then co-produced Greenwald's next film, "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism," an unprecedented look at the propaganda techniques of FOX News.
Prior to Business.com, Gilliam was the chief architect at eCompanies, a venture capital firm and incubator in Santa Monica, and a principal software engineer at Lycos, one of the first internet search engines. He has been blogging at jimgilliam.com since 1999, has survived cancer twice, and is currently in desperate need of a double lung transplant.
