Five filmmakers in association with Life is My Movie Entertainment are traveling the United States this summer in an effort to grasp America’s growing issue, tax reform. The documentary they plan to film is an unbiased, educational and entertaining look into the potential reforms that are inevitable come 2010 when the Bush administration tax cuts cease.
The movie is set to be released in November 2008 in conjunction with the presidential election. The interviewees planned for the film range from influential politicians, world renowned economists, and other contributors to the tax issue. In the following two months, the five filmmakers will travel to D.C., Maryland, Georgia, and Texas. The schedule is tentative however, allowing for potentially new interviewees upon inquiry. Though the film is unbiased, the filmmakers will interview Fair Tax advocates Georgia Congressman John Linder and talk show host Neal Boortz while traveling through Georgia.
Beyond the educational aspect, the documentary will focus on the emotional strife the American public must endure in relation to taxes. The film will combine these real life instances with in-depth interviews, political cartoon archival footage and animated examples, in order to showcase the gravity of the situation in an entertaining and at times humorous manner.
"Never before have the perspectives of politicians, academicians, businessmen, and working class citizens been combined to paint a picture of America using the brush of taxation," said Director Chris Marshall.
The filmmakers feel the film is important to every American, as taxes are essentially a way of life. "This issue directly affects all of us. We're at such a pivotal point with where our tax system is going. So many are uninformed about the situation, uninformed about what will happen if nothing changes, and uninformed about what proposals for change are out there," said Assistant Director Nathan Padgett.
The directors look forward to any face-to-face or phone interviews in the coming stages of production. Please contact press@lifeismymovie.com [1] or call 770-881-7500 ext: 711 for more information.
