Jimmy Morrison
Jimmy Morrison co-wrote and directed the award-winning documentary The Housing Bubble and The Fall of 2008 with NY Times bestselling author Tom Woods. The 1st film in the trilogy set an attendance record and won an Audience Award at the Anthem Film Festival, after over 300 people filled the room and spilled into the hallway at the premiere. Jimmy drove over 35,000 miles shooting interviews with people that predicted the crash like Ron Paul, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Peter Schiff, Doug Casey, Jim Grant, Gene Epstein, Robert Murphy, and David Stockman.
Morrison’s work on Dennis Quaid’s Grid Down recently won a Storyteller Award at DOC LA. Although he was responsible for the motion graphics, his primary role was as a script consultant. Jimmy produced and ran a camera for the mockumentary Rocksteppy, starring Jake Dilley and McManus Woodend, best known for his recurring role as the GEICO caveman. The film features Jeff Dowd: the Coen Brothers original inspiration for “The Dude,” as well as cameos from Oscar-winning directors David Lynch and Peter Farrelly. David Lynch picked Jimmy and Jake’s music video Aperture for a grant. It also screened at the Minneapolis St. Paul Film Festival.
Jimmy Morrison dropped out of school and started Let Us Disagree Productions in 2006. Two years later, Jimmy started Iowa Patients for Medical Marijuana, successfully lobbying the first Board of Pharmacy in the country to recommend marijuana be rescheduled as medicine, which the bipartisan board supported unanimously. The organization received a grant from the Marijuana Policy Project and has grown exponentially since Jimmy stepped down in 2011. Jimmy worked closely with Gary Johnson from 2010-2011 on his Republican Presidential campaign, but has since been radicalized away from politics.
