Jerry Brown: The Shape of Things to Come (1980)
A live, half-hour campaign broadcast for Governor Jerry Brown during the 1980 Democratic primaries—produced by Francis Ford Coppola and staged in Madison, Wisconsin—experimenting with real-time video effects. The production was plagued by technical mishaps (audio failure, on-screen typos, and misfiring composites), earning the tongue-in-cheek nickname “Apocalypse Brown.”
