A state representative from King City who doubles as a radio talk show host could end up on the big screen, too.
Independent film maker William Lewis interviewed Rep. Jim Guest, a Republican, on Monday for about two hours. He'll use the footage for a new documentary on Americans’ "loss of rights and freedoms," according to an e-mail from the legislator.
"William Lewis Productions/Bridgestone Media Group chose Rep. Guest from legislators all over the U.S. for his record on protecting citizens' constitutional guarantees," he wrote.
Mr. Guest told the News-Press the interview focused mainly on the national movement he's leading against the Federal Real ID Act of 2005, which authorizes the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to set requirements for national driver's licenses.
Mr. Guest and a slew of other politicians nationwide oppose the law because of privacy concerns and have challenged its constitutionality.
While in King City Monday, Mr. Lewis shot additional footage of the wind farm and also interviewed residents on their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with federal government.
Mr. Lewis recently had returned from the Breckenridge Film Festival in Colorado, where his film "Washington You’re Fired!" premiered.
Mr. Guest met the film maker earlier this year when he appeared as a guest on "The Jim Guest Show," where the Republican discusses the above issues at length with featured speakers.
The show airs through satellite feed to FM radio stations around the country, but reaps most of its listenership from the Web. His show starts at 9 a.m. on Sundays at www.thejimguestshow.com through Republic Broadcasting.
Mr. Lewis said he needed subjects for an upcoming film, so he scheduled a trip to King City.
Mr. Guest said he's unsure when the film will be completed.
