Written for Democrats, independents, fed-up republicans and disaffected ex-Trumpers, John Michael Carroll's new book "Trump Red Biden Blue" examines the sharp contrasts between presidential candidates Joe Biden (Democrat) and Presidential incumbent Donald Trump (Republican) in an easy to read volume concerning the critical interests of our time facing American voters in the November's 2020 Election. A bombshell book that presents the case against the re-election of Donald Trump, using his own words against himself, in hopes of restoring the greatness of the United States of America. Tracing Trump's ineptitude and complete absence of leadership skills, his lack of talent in managing a raging epidemic that has made the USA the laughing stock of the world, and his credibility with middle-of-the-road voters, who will really decide the election, this remains the most important election of our lifetime. This is a book that begs you to "Take Action," not just grumble and complain about Trump's ineptitude and dishonesty. By providing valuable tools accessed throughout the book and found on its supporting website, you can institute significant change. With less than three months before the election, use the verbatim quotations presented within as vital evidence to enlist sympathetic friends to vote.

   WORKHOUSE (workhousepr.com) one of the country's leading public relations and integrated creative firms, today announced that it has been selected as the Agency of Record for CHARLIE CHAPLIN, A MAN OF THE WORLD, a documentary feature focusing on the Romany gypsy roots of cinema legend Charlie Chaplin. Workhouse will develop integrated promotional campaigns that synchronize communication efforts, including international endeavors, and will execute a comprehensive public relations plan on behalf of the project. The assignment is effective immediately. Interested media please contact Workhouse, CEO Adam Nelson via email nelson@workhousepr.com or by telephone +1. 212. 645. 8006 Director-Writer Carmen Chaplin directs “Charlie Chaplin, A Man of the World,” a theatrical documentary feature that adds a hardly-explored new facet to the creator of the Tramp, one of the most iconic cinema characters in popular consciousness, plumbing Chaplin’s Romani roots and heritage. Marking the first time that the Chaplin family is involved at a deeply creative and industrial level in a movie about Charles Chaplin, grand-daughter Carmen Chaplin is also co-writing the documentary’s screenplay with Amaia Remírez, a co-writer and lead producer on “Another Day of Life,” a European Film Awards best-animated feature winner, and Isaki Lacuesta, twice awarded with Gold Shell in San Sebastian International Film Festival, a multi-awarded Spanish filmmaker whose work includes documentary, fiction and video installations exhibited worldwide. A documentary that “radically reinterprets Chaplin’s oeuvre from a Romani perspective and examines the persecution of gypsies through his lens,” “Charlie Chaplin, A Man of the World” is produced by Madrid-based Wave of Humanity’s Stany Coppet, Dolores Chaplin and Ashim Bhalla, Amaia Remírez at San Sebastian’s Kanaki Films, and Nano Arrieta at Madrid’s Atlantika Films. In addition, attached to the movie Fabien Westerhoff from UK Film Constellation playing as coproducer and international sales agent, B-team pictures as Spanish distributor, with the determining participation of RTVE. Worldwide known gypsy artist Lita Cabellut portrays Chaplin's birth and childhood through animated sequences produced by L.A-Amsterdam based Submarine´s Femke Wolting and Bruno Felix, coproducers of "Charlie Chaplin: A Man of the World". Submarine produces Amazon Undone animation series or Netflix Apollo 10 ½ directed by five Academy Awards nominated Linklater.  CHARLIE CHAPLIN, A MAN OF THE WORLD is a feature-length cinema documentary focusing on the gypsy roots of Charlie Chaplin, cinema legend, musician, and Romany. By exploring Charlie’s birth and childhood (animation), foregrounding distinct gypsy elements in his work (film clips), and by documenting Roma gypsies (cinema verité and interviews), the movie offers a new and unique perspective on Charlie’s life and films as well as celebrating the vibrancy of Romany culture. Following Charlie’s death in 1977, his daughter Victoria Chaplin discovered a letter addressed to her father which he had kept locked away in his bedside table for years. Michael Chaplin muses, “...my father received thousands of letters from all over the world, why would he keep that one unless it meant something to him?... And why was it a secret?” The Romany author of the letter recounts the night Charlie Chaplin was born: not in London as widely believed but in a gypsy camp in the English Midlands, “...you don’t know where you were born or in fact who you really are...” taunts Jack Hill. To more profoundly understand Charlie we must understand what it meant to be gypsy when he was born in 1889: life was arduous and often tragic. But the startling reality is that gypsies have been persecuted across Europe for centuries and continue to be victimized even today.   "20 years ago I made a movie in Bucharest, on my days off I wandered the austere post-communist city and became fascinated by the stray dogs and Romany children. The dogs and the children lived a life distinct from and parallel to the rest of the city: ignored and persecuted. As they scavenged for food whilst hiding from the cops, the Romany children struck me as being straight out of my grandfather’s film THE KID. On returning to the film set, I recounted what I’d seen to the Romanian people closest to me. To my total shock they condemned these children as criminals and low-lifes. This encounter with anti-gypsy stigma stayed with me; I saw that otherwise pleasant people could also view other individuals as worthless and in fact barely human. This is the first film on Charlie by members of his family, and several of Charlie’s children will participate. I wish to uncover the role that Romany heritage plays in the culture of our family. What did this mean to them growing-up, what do their gypsy roots mean to them now?   CARMEN CHAPLIN (Director, Co-Writer) is a British and Irish multi-racial actress and director. Born in London, Carmen grew-up in France. As an actress, she worked extensively in Europe and also in the U.S. with several eminent directors including André Téchiné, Wim Wenders, Sydney Pollack, and Philippe Rousselot. In 2012 Carmen directed a visual poem on the theme of time for luxury Swiss watch brand Jaeger- LeCoultre. A Time for Everything was selected for the acclaimed SHOOT New Directors Showcase at the Directors Guild of America Theatre in New York and is hosted online by Vogue; the film screened at the Saatchi Gallery in London and at Lincoln Centre in New York. In 2014 Carmen wrote and directed a short science-fiction comedy for French car manufacturer Renault: The Innovators screened at Soho House in West Hollywood, Lincoln Center in New York, the Academy Awards qualifying festival Hollyshorts in Los Angeles, and enjoyed a successful festival run through 2015/16. In 2016 Carmen completed narrative short drama Tryst in Paname starring Dolores Chaplin, Bambou Gainsbourg, and Stany Coppet. The film — showcased worldwide by UniFrance — began its festival run at Chelsea Film Festival in New York and screened at international film festivals through 2016/17 including Manchester International Film Festival and Shorts on Tap in London. Carmen has two feature film projects in development at her production company Kwanon Films in London. She wrote the feature film screenplay Photocall — described by New York’s A24 Films as “extremely emotional and gripping” — and is also attached to direct the movie; Carmen is currently packaging the film with producing partner Ashim Bhalla. In 2019 at the San Sebastián Film Festival, Spanish film production companies Wave of Humanity, Atlantika Films, and Kanaki Films announced that Carmen Chaplin is to direct feature documentary on her cinema legend grandfather Charlie Chaplin, a Man of the World.

Post Truth Serum: DeVotchaKa’s Tom Hagerman ("Little Miss Sunshine") Drops a Surprise Pop Record7/17/2020   Post Truth Serum (Modern Victims) was perhaps never meant to be. This record, the brainchild of Tom Hagerman (best known for his multi-instrumentalist role in Devotchka) is a collection of moody, infectious, glorious, and absurd pop songs created from the discarded scraps of melodic content from the deep recesses of his vintage 2011 laptop. Musical influences from 80’s goth/newave synthesizers collide with chamber pop orchestral strings, horns, and percussion which are all brought to life by the vocals of Elin Palmer and the drums of Shawn King (Devotchka). With all plans for a traditional album release scrapped by the pandemic, the record was prematurely released on Bandcamp on March 19th and as Wonderbound, the Denver based modern dance company has said in it’s description of the record: “The lyrics and music, written and recorded over the past several years, eerily foreshadowed the emotional and psychological space that the world had suddenly been thrown into”. This record, in its own way, is a joyful romp through the loss of a carefree youth, the panic of a midlife crisis, the realization of impending catastrophes created by humanity, and the absolute power of human connection and love through our darkest moments. If Rock and Roll is the story of The Myth of Sisyphus, Post Truth Serum’s “Modern Victims” is the laughter that follows. Interested media contact Workhouse, CEO, Adam Nelson, via nelson@workhousepr.com  Tom Hagerman is using what he’s got. Stuck at home without gigs for his main band, Denver’s Grammy-nominated DeVotchKa, the multi-instrumentalist and arranger for the Colorado Symphony looked at what was right in front of him. “This is years of shredded-off carcasses intended for DeVotchKa,” Hagerman said of his under-the-radar side project, a band called Post Truth Serum. “And I hated seeing them die on my computer hard drive. But a lot of stuff happened to me. I had babies to raise. I got really ill.” In addition to being the breadwinner for a family that now includes five daughters — four at home, one in college — Hagerman went through chemo- and immunotherapy after being diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, a cancer of the blood, in 2018. He still played shows throughout the months-long treatment, but the incurable nature of the disease (it’s currently in remission, Hagerman said) added another element of uncertainty to his life. Considering his increasingly busy role with the Colorado Symphony — he translates rock songs into sheet music so the symphony can perform with national indie acts such as The Flaming Lips, or Colorado’s Gregory Alan Isakov and The Lumineers — it’s conspired to keep Post Truth Serum at bay since its first stirrings in 2014. It’s not for lack of interest. Hagerman had recruited Denver-based, Swedish-born songwriter and vocalist Elin Palmer to record vocals for the project back in 2016, adding to percussion recorded in 2014 with DeVotchKa drummer Shawn King at a building that doesn’t exist anymore (the former location of Mighty Fine Productions, now a Shake Shack on Larimer Street).  In the meantime, Hagerman continued lending his violin and other talents to recordings from Colorado artists such as Nathaniel Rateliff, as well as indie-music stalwarts M. Ward, Eric Bachmann, Calexico, and Sage Francis. He wrote original music for theater and dance, with performances by Wonderbound and the Colorado Symphony of “The 7 Deadly Sins”; “De Troya,” by Dallas-based Cara Mia Theatre; and Shakespeare’s “The 12th Night” for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. But it wasn’t until the pandemic hit and Hagerman was staring down an indefinite stretch without work that he decided to “panic release” Post Truth Serum’s debut album, “Modern Victims,” in March. That’s also when a video for the song “Worms” began to materialize. “We had a video for another song on ‘Modern Victims’ all planned out before that,” said director Marcin Biegunajtys, who runs the Aurora-based film company ManMade Media Studio and has worked with the Colorado Symphony in the past. They had hoped to borrow costumes from the DCPA and film it at the Mercury Cafe, with a vampire theme befitting Hagerman’s love of 1980s goth. “And then, like clockwork, doomsday hit,” Biegunajtys said. That nixed the on-site filming, given Hagerman’s legitimate concerns about his immune system. But Biegunajtys, who had previously directed the video for DeVotchKa’s “Done With Those Days,” had another idea. As a Park Hill resident, his girlfriend’s doughnut cravings frequently brought him to East Colfax Avenue’s beloved City Donuts. “After five days of that, I only thought about doughnuts,” he said. “That was my daily breakfast — chowing down on two or three of those. And when we started talking music-video concepts, I thought, ‘Why not flying donuts? They’re delicious. Who doesn’t want to see those during this weird time?’ ” Hagerman let the director pick his own favorite song from Post Truth Serum’s debut, which ended up being “Worms.” The gauzy, lush backing tracks — including strings played and arranged by Hagerman — provide a landscape over which Palmer’s delicate vocals soar. Accordion, piano and reverb-laden synths worthy of The Cure’s “Disintegration” add to the dusky, late-summer wistfulness.  Tom Hagerman is a Denver based composer, arranger, and musician best known for his multi-instrumentalist role in the Grammy-nominated rock band, Devotchka. He has performed on many recordings including those by M Ward, She and Him, Nathaniel Rateliff, Bettye Lavette, Eric Bachman, Calexico, and Sage Francis. As an arranger and orchestrator, he has worked closely with a variety of groups including, The Colorado Symphony, The Flaming Lips, The Lumineers, Amos Lee, Gregory Alan Isakov, Trampled By Turtles, Ingrid Michaelson, Lettuce, and Opiuo. He has written original music for theater and dance, including performances by Wonderbound and the Colorado Symphony of "The7 Deadly Sins", "De Troya" by Dallas based Cara Mia Theatre, and performances of Shakespeare's, "The 12th Night" for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. His latest project is "Modern Victims", a collection of pop songs recorded under the banner "Post Truth Serum", with Elin Palmer and Shawn King (Devotchka). Tom is a graduate of the music school at the University of Colorado in violin performance and is a product of music education in public schools.
