The Election Candidates as Movie Protagonists

Posted on: December 4th, 2012 by wmapother 2 Comments

 

I forgot to post this link a month ago, what with my advising top political strategists and all.  It got a little busy.

I co-wrote an op-ed for the Huffington Post with Lynn Vavreck, a noted political professor at UCLA and author of  The Gamble.  Through the prism of Lynn’s extensive polling data, we considered the two candidates as traditional movie protagonists—studio films vs. indie films—and the strengths and weaknesses that suggested for each of them.

Yes, the election is over, but if you’re into that sort of thing, the piece is here.  I also have a couple other pieces up on HuffPo, and they’re here.

FDR: American Badass attacks soon

Posted on: June 2nd, 2012 by wmapother No Comments

This just in from the front: FDR:American Badass will defend America at Comic-Con this summer
and be out on VOD in September, just in time for our pre-election Presidential candidates to size themselves up against a true, werewolf-fightin’, wheelchair-shootin’ American hero.

Barry Bostwick does a hilarious FDR, and I (me, William Mapother) play Dr. Ellington.  Here’s a trailer to treat yourself to.  Werewolves, beware yourselves.
