Directed by Sean Meredith, In Smog & Thunder is a mockumenary chronicling the events surrounding a recent fictional civil war between two groups of Californian citizens, namely, Los Angeles and San Francisco residents whose animosity towards one another spiraled out of control until war broke out amongst them. With some invaluable help from the modern soldiers, citizens, traffic reporters, colonels, generals, and gardeners involved in this battle, an eccentric historian gives his version of the long-term conflict between the two cities. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
Special Features: - Alternate Takes and Outtakes
- TV interview with the Filmmakers
- Sandow Birk's Original Museum Audio Tour

First off, kudos and reusable nalgene water bottles filled with artesian glacier-meltings to GreenCine for getting this DVD out to me before its appearance at the SF IndieFest on February 7th and 15th. Are you folks awesome or what!?
I'd considered myself fairly hip and knowledgeable, but this war completely escaped my notice. (Too much spam to delete, I guess.) We've got Sandow Birk to thank for his haunting and hilarious artwork--since, incredibly, no photos of the event were preserved. The IndieFest program guide says it best: "Armies of unemployed actors clutching headshots battled amateur web designers with iBooks in their back-packs." Hey there, director Sean Meredith, maybe you and crew would consider a prequel to "The Great Election of 2004."
