Makemake Entertainment Executive Angus Wall THE ACCIDENTAL PRESIDENT Trump won. That’s a fact. How did he do it? INTERVENTION MEDIA PRESENTS IN ASSOCIATION WITH MAKEMAKE ENTERTAINMENT ASSOCIATE EXECUTIVE A JAMES FLETCHERFILM ‘THE ACCIDENTAL PRESIDENT’ PRODUCER TED GUARD PRODUCER KENT KUBENA EXECUTIVE CREATIVE MUSIC DIRECTOR OF PRODUCER ANGUS WALL DIRECTOR GRAHAM CLARKIN BY DOMINIC LEWIS PHOTOGRAPHY JEZ THIERRY EDITOR NOAH BENEZRA THIS FILM IS PRODUCED PRODUCED & NOT YET RATED BY EVE KORNBLUM DIRECTED BY JAMES FLETCHER © 2020 Intervention Media LLC. All rights reserved COMING SOON PUBLICITY CONTACT JIM DOBSON Indie PR [email protected] SYNOPSIS As America began to try and come to terms with the surprising (and for many voters, horrifying) results of the presidential race of 2016, the subsequent rapid-fire speed of events and jam-packed news cycles meant that nobody would ever have the opportunity to truly and properly reflect on what exactly just happened -- and how did it? THE ACCIDENTAL PRESIDENT is British filmmaker/journalist James Fletcher’s quest for those answers. In it, he not only uncovers a detailed play-by-play from all angles on how it all went down, but also the state of America that led to the results, what the electorate was really motivated by, and how a former game show host with an elevated understanding of the media and entertainment was able to connect with voters from all walks of life and stage a takeover of Washington D.C. -- whether he meant to or not. Featuring an impressively diverse and balanced set of fascinating interviews from both sides of the aisle, Fletcher has taken what could have simply been a “Trump-bashing” film and has instead created something for a much larger audience: everyone. An educated examination of the most controversial election in modern history, and one that every future campaign - most notably the one currently in play - should study with an electron microscope. THE ACCIDENTAL PRESIDENT is executive produced by multiple Oscar and Emmy-winner Angus Wall (Icarus, Ava DuVernay’s 13th, Netflix’s Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez, etc.) ABOUT THE PRODUCTION I moved to the US in early 2015 when I met my now wife. I produced TV spots and online campaigns for David She works for CNN (Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin) and Cameron up till his election in 2010. I also did the same it was an election year.

He’d been in the room the evening asked me to make some films for his Brexit campaign. And before, and suggested that we could use the time in while I voted Remain, I’ve always treated campaigns as a Opposition, with its reduced media scrutiny, to experiment lawyer treats a client - it’s business and my own beliefs have with online media and see what impact it may have on no part to play, and never should.

  • CMSI Journey to the Academy Awards -- Race and Gender in a Decade of Documentary 2008-2017 (2-20-17)
    ! Journey to the Academy Awards: A Decade of Race & Gender in Oscar-Shortlisted Documentaries (2008-2017) PRELIMINARY KEY FINDINGS Caty Borum Chattoo, Nesima Aberra, Michele Alexander, Chandler Green1 February 2017 In the Best Documentary Feature category of the Academy Awards, 2017 is a year of firsts. For the first time, four of the five Oscar-nominated documentary directors in the category are people of color (Roger Ross Williams, for Life, Animated; Ezra Edelman, for O.J.: Made in America; Ava DuVernay, for 13th; and Raoul Peck, for I Am Not Your Negro). In fact, 2017 reveals the largest percentage of Oscar-shortlisted documentary directors of color over at least the past decade. Almost a third (29%) of this year’s 17 credited Oscar-shortlisted documentary directors (in the Best Documentary Feature category) are people of color, up from 18 percent in 2016, none in 2015, and 17 percent in 2014. The percentage of recognized women documentary directors, while an increase from last year (24 percent of recognized shortlisted directors in 2017 are women, compared to 18 percent in 2016), remains at relatively the same low level of recognition over the past decade. In 2016, as a response to widespread criticism and negative media coverage, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences welcomed a record number of new members to become part of the voting class to bestow Academy Awards: 683 film professionals (46 percent women, 41 percent people of color) were invited in.2 According to the Academy, prior to this new 2016 class, its membership was 92 percent white and 75 percent male.3 To represent the documentary category, 42 new documentary creative professionals (directors and producers) were invited as new members.

In The Social Network, director David Fincher and screenwriter Visit the official movie site Aaron Sorkin explore the moment at which Facebook, the most revolutionary social www.thesocialnetwork-movie.com phenomenon of the new century, was invented—through the warring perspectives of the super-smart young men who each claimed to be there at its inception. The result is a drama rife with both creation and destruction; one that purposefully avoids a singular POV, but instead, by tracking dueling narratives, mirrors the clashing truths and constantly morphing social relationships that define our time. Sony Pictures Entertainment www.sonypictures.com Drawn from multiple sources, the film moves from the halls of Harvard to the cubicles of Palo Alto as it captures the visceral thrill of the heady early days of a culture-changing phenomenon in the making— and the way it both pulled a group of young revolutionaries together and then split them apart. In the Columbia Pictures midst of the chaos are Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), the brilliant Harvard student who conceived a website that seemed to redefine our social fabric overnight; Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), once Zuckerberg’s close friend, who provided the seed money for the fledgling company; Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) who brought Facebook to Silicon Valley’s venture capitalists; and the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence), the Harvard classmates who asserted that Zuckerberg stole their idea and then sued him for ownership of it.
