"I know there isn't yet equal oppor-
tunity for all, but shouldn't we strive
for that? That's what I'm hoping my
film will inspire people to do."
Heart ends with breathtaking
images of Fourth of July fireworks
near New York Harbor's Ellis Island,
which Schwartzberg also traces to his
parents. "The Statue of Liberty is
the first thing they saw when they
came to this country, and it repre-
sents the ideals that brought them
here," he said.
Although he shares these ideals, he
didn't always share his parents' poli-
tics. During the Vietnam War, his
father, a tool and dye maker, worked
for a military aircraft manufacturer;
Schwartzberg, meanwhile, shot
photo essays about police violence
during demonstrations at UCLA.
Rather than go to work for the
audiovisual department of his dad's
company after graduation, he devel-
oped a reputation as a preeminent
time-lapse photographer; later, he
directed .commercials and spectacular
time-lapse sequences that have been
featured in films such as American
Beauty, among other endeavors.
It was while traveling the country
to direct promotional spots for local
news broadcasts that he got the idea
to make a movie featuring vignettes
that strung together "would provide
a snapshot of the American charac-
ter."
He spent millions of his own dol-
lars to shoot Heart, which uses
35mm stock and looks like the prici-
est of IMAX films. ("I'm out on a
limb, big time," he says of the
expense.)
Schwartzberg persevered even as
every studio in town rejected his
film; Disney finally bought Heart 18
months ago, well before the Moore
brouhaha.
If generating movie controversies
has become as American as apple
pie, Schwartzberg wants no part of
it.
"For me, it's a non-issue," he says.
He's equally direct with those who
might label his movie as right wing
or naive. "I don't think it's hokey to
love your country," he said.

America's Heart and Soul opens
today in Detroit-area theaters.
