The Kennedy's Twins Trilogy

Zusatztext

THE KENNEDY'S TWINS TRILOGY, that includes BLACK PRESIDENT (PICNIC PUBLISHING, UK ©2008), KENNEDY'S TWINS, and BLACKMALE (Light Video Books <www.lightvideo.com), follows the American Presidency of Jackson Little who, along with his brother John, were secretly fathered by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. When Jackson is assassinated, his identical twin John steps in, impersonating The President and taking the country in a new, radical direction. His unusual State of the Union speech, written and delivered without prior knowledge of the press, raises concerns about toxic lead levels in plumbing (still prevalent in depressed neighborhoods across America), exorbitant rents/general inflation, and the growing threat of US military buildup. The Little agenda is steadfastly anti-war, anti-Military Industrial Complex, anti-cronyism, and questions the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve banking system. With a risky speech, impostor-John attempts to alter the fatal direction in which, he believes, America is headed.

Rick Schmidt is an award-winning American low/no-budget feature filmmaker, with 26 indie features to his credit. He is also author of the seminal filmmaking book, "Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices" (Penguin Books, 1988, 1992, 2000), regarded as 'the indie filmmaking bible' by MovieMaker magazine. Frameworks magazine has called Schmidt a major innovator, in the era of early 1990s independent film, and Library Journal adds that his book has helped lead the way for film-artists to create their works outside the Hollywood system. With over 100,000 copies in print, 'Used-Car' filmmaking has helped noted film writer/directors like Kevin Smith/Clerks and action star Vin Diesel to establish Hollywood careers.
