Ladd Ehlinger Jr. (born August 21, 1968 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is
an American filmmaker. He is the director and animator of the 2007
film Flatland as well as a creator of numerous political videos
promoting a libertarian conservative viewpoint, some of which have
become highly controversial and reached viral levels of publicity. On
his website, he compares himself to Sam Peckinpah and Orson Welles. He
also hosts a radio talk show in Huntsville, Alabama.In 2007, Ehlinger
directed, animated and edited the film Flatland, which is based on
Edwin Abbott Abbott's novella of the same name. The film takes place
on a two-dimensional world inhabited by intelligent polygons, most of
whom refuse to acknowledge the existence of a third dimension. "The
story follows its hero A Square, who inhabits a world that is
completely flat and two-dimensional. A mysterious visitor from the
third dimension arrives, bent on spreading the gossip about another
dimension called height. A Square is taken out of Flatland and
transported to the 3D universe. In so doing, the very fabric of
space-time itself is placed at risks, potentially destroying all of
creation.""Flatland" was widely reviewed and received critical acclaim
as an independent, innovative film.In 2010, Ehlinger released another
full-length film, more overtly political than the last. This film,
Hive Mind, centers on a conservative talk radio host who is the last
"normal" human in a world otherwise inhabited entirely by zombies who
are part of the "Hive Mind" of the title.
