SPARROW FOR PRESIDENT!
Rooftop Films and Rumur Inc., the filmmakers behind Horns and Halos, announce the release of six webisodes about the poet Sparrow's fifth attempt to lose the presidential election. The comedic documentary series can be seen at www.sparrowforprez.com and www.rooftopfilms.com. Produced by Rumur Inc. and Rooftop Films, these six short episodes chronicle Sparrow's hilarious 2008 non-campaign, from his heaven-sent inspiration, to his rousing appearance in front of thousands, to his desperate attempts to keep genuine activists from voting for him. Guest stars include Sander Hicks (founder of Vox Pop) and Andrew Boyd (founder of Billionaires for Bush). Also included are Sparrow's "campaign commercials," the uniquely bizarre Wisdom of Sparrow pledges and poems.
As a country we need Sparrow. We certainly don’t want him to run anything but we need him now, just as the 1850’s needed Walt Whitman, to force us to look at our political system with a new perspective. Sparrow speaks truth to those not in power, and if enough people listen power might have to pay attention.
