Jimmy Morrison

Jimmy Morrison directed the award-winning documentary The Housing Bubble, the 1st film in a trilogy co-written by Tom Woods. Jimmy drove over 35,000 miles shooting 15 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. 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. The NYC Premiere launched the release of the film in over 70 countries. The sequel The Fall of 2008 comes out March 14th. Sales of both films will fund the premiere and release of the final film The Bigger Bubble later this year.

Morrison’s work on Dennis Quaid’s Grid Down won a Storyteller Award at DOC LA in 2022. He was brought on as a script consultant and also ended up doing the motion graphics with frequent collaborator Jake Dilley. Jimmy produced and ran a camera for Jake’s mockumentary Rocksteppy, also starring 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. Morrison premiered My Dad The Honor Flight Director at the Anthem Film Festival in Memphis in 2023. The film is about his father’s life and subsequent battle with dementia.

Jimmy Morrison dropped out of college to start Let Us Disagree Films in 2007. A year 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 also worked closely with Gary Johnson from 2010-2011 on his Republican Presidential campaign, but has since been radicalized away from politics.

In 2019, Jimmy Morrison started RV School, a club where kids learn about the world by exploring it, empowering them to take charge of their education while getting real life experiences. He has since served on the Board of Directors for The Montessori School of Iowa City and currently serves on the board for Tamarack Discovery School, a place-based school that goes up to 6th grade.
