THE GLAMOROUS LIE SCREENS AT SLAMDANCE!
The Glamorous Lie Award-Winning Documentary World-Premieres a New Cut January 18, 2013 at Alternative Film
Festival in Park City. It's a Feature-Length Documentary Chronicling One Woman’s Triumph Over One Man’s Lies.
Los Angeles, CA January 18, 2013 – The documentary film THE GLAMOROUS LIE (produced by 21 Yellow Tulips,
www.21YellowTulips.com) has faced a tumultuous road since it started making the rounds of film festivals last fall. The
feature documentary, which chronicles the life of YaVaughnie Wilkins and her eight and a half year relationship with Infor
CEO, former Oracle executive and Obama economic advisor Charles E. Phillips, Jr. was buffeted by Phillips’ lawyers efforts
to quash festival screenings of the film. Now, following a brand-new cut, Slamdance (www.slamdance.com) has selected
th
THE GLAMOROUS LIE to screen out of competition at the 19 Annual Slamdance Film Festival January 18, 2013 at 9:45PM
at the Treasure Mountain Inn, 255 Main Street, Park City, Utah 84060.
The documentary made its world premiere at the Harlem International Film Festival September 20, winning the Audience
Award for a documentary (www.harlemfilmfestival.com). Despite legal threats that pressured festivals to cancel
screenings at three festivals, the film went on to screen at the Bel-Air Film Festival and the LA Femme International Film
Festival in October, and made its international debut at the Oaxaca Film Festival in November. Bel Air’s full-throated
support was a bellwether for the film; THE GLAMOROUS LIE took home both the Audience and Jury Awards for Best
Documentary.
THE GLAMOROUS LIE tells a story that would make for a fantastic fictional drama: high-placed boyfriend caught cheating;
scorned girlfriend seeks very public acknowledgement. Billboards throughout the country showing a very literal picture of
couple, with the message “you are my soul mate forever” posted larger than life over the streets of New York, Atlanta and
Silicon Valley. But this was no fictional drama: it was, and it is, real. Wilkins and Phillips’ break-up played out in
newspaper and television outlets around the world, but it was always characterized as a story of the wrath of a woman
scorned and the height to which she had gone to call out her cheating boyfriend. But that was only part of the story. The
public knew little about Wilkins, the woman behind the billboards, and less still about how far Phillips would go to cover
up the truth about their relationship. THE GLAMOROUS LIE tells Wilkins’ account of the years leading up to, during and
after the relationship.
Phillips’ lawyers not only threatened the festivals that made THE GLAMOROUS LIE an official selection; they sent
“background materials” to media in order to mute press coverage of the film. The Slamdance screening will let the
hundreds of media—as well as the public—gathered in Park City see the film for themselves.
Wilkins says, “[Phillips], his associates and his legal team know they can't intimidate me so they have resorted to
threatening everyone associated with me, including the film festivals and theaters who, before receiving the threatening
cease and desist letters, had enthusiastically accepted THE GLAMOROUS LIE as an ‘Official Selection’ screening.”
She continues, “I am not afraid of people finding out who the ‘real’ YaVaughnie Wilkins is; I’ve put it on screen and paper
for all to see. Phillips cannot say the same. We are looking forward to each festival screening and stand ready in each
case to blunt Phillips’ attempts to quash them.”
The film’s ongoing drama—Wilkins, family members, friends, businesses associates and even casual past acquaintances
remain victims of ongoing surveillance and intimidation—makes the final chapter of THE GLAMOROUS LIE a softer than
cliff’s edge, with another chapter perhaps yet to be written.

Seven fascinating films for lawyers
These seven films explore various facets of law and justice:
1. The Trial (1963) depicts a man arrested but not informed of his charges as he tries to defend himself against a corrupt legal system where real justice never comes.
2. The Accused (1988) examines a gang rape case and the gender prejudices faced by the victim in her fight for justice.
3. Let Him Have It (1991) tells the true story of a man wrongly convicted and hanged for murder in 1950s England.
4. A Civil Action (1998) follows a lawyer representing residents whose water was contaminated, weighing principles against financial costs.
5. The Confession (1999) satirically
Tv drama

Press Release - Winner Takes All
Here's a press release for our dark comedy short film Winner Takes All. Our press strategy includes highlighting star Alec Mapa ("Ugly Betty", "Desperate Housewives") and bringing up the social issue of the "looks" hierarchy of gay Los Angeles. So far, our strategy has helped build our audience and we've gotten into four film festivals, including an Academy-qualifying festival for short films (The Atlanta Film Festival).
Harlem Talk Radio/Intern Shots!
This slideshow covers most of the events I attended as a media assistant with Harlem Talk Radio. The Verizon Empowerment event photos were taken with a Cannon HDV30 camera, while the others were taken with a Sony Cybershot camera and the iPod 4. I took most of these photos to build my portfolio and some just for fun.
Micro analysis music video
The music video for Pink's song "Raise Your Glass" uses various postmodern techniques like intertextuality, pastiche, magic realism, and cultural flattening to promote messages of equality, social justice, and animal rights. Through portraying different personas and drawing references from history, Pink represents underdogs and marginalized groups while criticizing issues like bullfighting, the dairy industry, restrictions on gay marriage and religion, and the power of politicians and wealthy elites over the working class. The video aims to start important conversations and envision a more inclusive society through Pink's unconventional artistic style and defiance of social norms.
They Call That Politics
The document discusses various political and social topics in a disjointed way over several sections. It references Donald Trump, sexual frustration in politics, the story of St. Ursula and 11,000 virgins, the influence of alcohol and drugs, challenges facing unemployed people, jealousy between women, and the small town of Marks, Mississippi. The overall theme seems to be exploring different controversial or taboo issues across society and politics.
Final folktales

The film depicts Solomon's determination to regain his freedom over 12 years, despite immense struggles, until a chance encounter leads to his liberation.

History of the gangster genre
Mob and gangster films depict organized crime, often involving the mafia. The first such film was 1912's The Musketeers of Pig Alley, about a poor couple threatened by gangsters in New York City. Another early example is 1927's Underworld, following a criminal named Bull Weed and his rivalry with another gangster. Later, 1956's The Killing depicts a heist planned by a veteran criminal that goes wrong. These early films were shorter than modern gangster movies and showed less violence. Over time, the genre has evolved to include more action and graphic depictions of crime.
What – sin city
Sin City was directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, based on Miller's graphic novels. It was released in 2005 and grossed $74 million domestically and $159 million worldwide. Featuring a neo-noir story and visual style drawn from the source material, the film benefited from being the first major crime thriller release in four years, satisfying pent-up demand. Its success was also due to its acclaimed director and cast, and the preexisting popularity of the graphic novels. L.A. Confidential is a 1997 film adaptation of James Ellroy's novel, directed by Curtis Hanson. Set in 1950s LA, it tells the story of police corruption investigated by three very different officers. Starring Kevin Space
Genre analysis
Crime films focus on the lives of criminals and crimes they commit, ranging from realistic portrayals to dramatized depictions. Mob films deal specifically with organized crime and the mafia. The genre originated in silent films but was defined in the early 1930s during the Great Depression, producing classics like Little Caesar that chronicled criminals' quick rises and falls while still making them charismatic. The Godfather series in the 1970s was hugely influential, and later decades produced acclaimed mob films often loosely based on real crimes and criminals like Goodfellas in the 1990s and The Departed in the 2000s.

TX_LUAJ_20090426
This document summarizes an article from the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal about the debate around whether Lubbock County should become a "wet" county that allows alcohol sales. The summary analyzes crime statistics in wet and dry counties in Texas, finding that domestic violence rates are nearly double in wet counties while alcohol-related traffic accidents and DUIs are fewer. It also discusses concerns that more alcohol sales could increase crimes like assault, domestic violence, underage drinking and drunk driving.
Theshield
This document provides an overview of the characteristics of traditional soap operas and how they evolved into male-centered soap operas. It discusses how traditional soap operas focused on domestic life and relationships but were considered low culture. Male soap operas incorporated more action/violence and morally ambiguous male protagonists. Examples like Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue combined soap opera elements with police procedurals and action. Later shows on cable like The Sopranos and The Shield featured antihero protagonists engaging in crime and violence while still exploring relationships and personal lives. The document also summarizes a key episode of The Shield that shows the complex relationship between the main character Vic Mackey and another officer.
Theshield
This document provides an overview and analysis of soap operas and male-centered crime dramas that incorporate elements of soap operas. It discusses the origins and conventions of traditional soap operas, including their focus on domestic life, relationships and melodrama. It then outlines how later crime dramas like Hill Street Blues combined soap opera elements with police procedural plots. These male soap operas featured morally ambiguous male protagonists and dealt with themes of masculinity, violence and sexuality rather than traditional soap opera themes. The document uses The Shield as a case study to illustrate how these shows pushed boundaries in terms of graphic content and moral ambiguity.
Turkish dramas
This document summarizes a presentation on the topic of Turkish content and its effects. It discusses how Turkish dramas have become popular in Pakistan and examines their impact on Pakistani culture and drama industry. Some key points made include that Turkish dramas are considered un-Islamic by some due to their portrayal of romance and lifestyle. They are also seen as competition for the local drama industry and have achieved high viewership ratings. However, others argue that Pakistanis willingly watch these dramas and Pakistanis should improve their own content standards rather than blaming foreign influences. The document concludes by calling for Muslims to unite and reduce foreign control over media.
Turkey dramas in pakistan
The document discusses the airing of Turkish soap operas dubbed in Urdu on Pakistani television channels. It outlines different perspectives on whether these soaps help or hurt the local drama industry in Pakistan. Some producers see them as competition with lower production standards, while others believe they can boost industry standards. Viewers express a range of opinions from liking the soaps to disliking or being indifferent to their impact.
African-Americans in Modern Media
The document discusses the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of African Americans in modern media such as films. It provides several examples of roles that were portrayed by white actors that were originally black characters. It also notes that the few roles that are given to black actors often reinforce negative stereotypes. While there has been some recent progress, such as a black actress playing Annie, Hollywood still has a tendency to tell the same stories about African Americans and resist casting black actors in prominent roles. Overall, the representation of black people in media could be improved.

Whether it's prescription or street drugs, when the demise includes a celebrated face, it attracts consideration regarding evil spirits that neither cash nor notoriety can tame. These 16 stars lost their lives to overdoses, yet their legacy lives on in the collection of work they deserted.
The Effect of Gangster Culture on the Gangster Film Genre
The document discusses how gangster culture has influenced codes and conventions in gangster films over time. It analyzes the 1932 film Scarface and how Al Capone influenced the film with his flashy suits and illegal activities. Next, it examines the 1993 film Scarface and how it was influenced by the cocaine trade and gang culture of 1980s Miami. Finally, it discusses the 1990s film Menace II Society and how it represented the rise of black and Hispanic gang culture influenced by events like the East Coast-West Coast rap feud. Over the decades, gangster films have mirrored real-life changes in gangster culture through their evolving depictions of violence, criminal activities, and racial tensions.
Pelicula Philadelphia
Philadelphia is a 1993 American drama film that was one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to address topics like HIV/AIDS, homosexuality, and homophobia.

Public policy alternated between programs like the Bracero Program and Operation Wetback that increased legal and illegal immigration, while the generation and intelligentsia also helped shift public perception of Mexican Americans positively.

Existentialism
- Relativism holds that points of view have no absolute truth and that knowledge, morality, and truth are relative to factors like culture or historical context rather than being absolute.
- There are two main forms of moral relativism - individual relativism where individuals create their own moral standards, and cultural relativism where morality is grounded in societal approval rather than individual preferences.
- The first expression of relativism was from Protagoras, who said that how things appear to each individual is true for that individual and there is no objective truth apart from individual perspectives.

The glamorous lie press release slamdance film festival
- 1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Media Contacts: Platform Media Group; 323.337.9042 Henry Eshelman/Mark Rabinowitz; heshelman@platformgrp.com/mark@platformgrp.com THE GLAMOROUS LIE SCREENS AT SLAMDANCE! The Glamorous Lie Award-Winning Documentary World-Premieres a New Cut January 18, 2013 at Alternative Film Festival in Park City. It's a Feature-Length Documentary Chronicling One Woman’s Triumph Over One Man’s Lies. Los Angeles, CA January 18, 2013 – The documentary film THE GLAMOROUS LIE (produced by 21 Yellow Tulips, www.21YellowTulips.com) has faced a tumultuous road since it started making the rounds of film festivals last fall. The feature documentary, which chronicles the life of YaVaughnie Wilkins and her eight and a half year relationship with Infor CEO, former Oracle executive and Obama economic advisor Charles E. Phillips, Jr. was buffeted by Phillips’ lawyers efforts to quash festival screenings of the film. Now, following a brand-new cut, Slamdance (www.slamdance.com) has selected th THE GLAMOROUS LIE to screen out of competition at the 19 Annual Slamdance Film Festival January 18, 2013 at 9:45PM at the Treasure Mountain Inn, 255 Main Street, Park City, Utah 84060. The documentary made its world premiere at the Harlem International Film Festival September 20, winning the Audience Award for a documentary (www.harlemfilmfestival.com). Despite legal threats that pressured festivals to cancel screenings at three festivals, the film went on to screen at the Bel-Air Film Festival and the LA Femme International Film Festival in October, and made its international debut at the Oaxaca Film Festival in November. Bel Air’s full-throated support was a bellwether for the film; THE GLAMOROUS LIE took home both the Audience and Jury Awards for Best Documentary. THE GLAMOROUS LIE tells a story that would make for a fantastic fictional drama: high-placed boyfriend caught cheating; scorned girlfriend seeks very public acknowledgement. Billboards throughout the country showing a very literal picture of couple, with the message “you are my soul mate forever” posted larger than life over the streets of New York, Atlanta and Silicon Valley. But this was no fictional drama: it was, and it is, real. Wilkins and Phillips’ break-up played out in newspaper and television outlets around the world, but it was always characterized as a story of the wrath of a woman scorned and the height to which she had gone to call out her cheating boyfriend. But that was only part of the story. The public knew little about Wilkins, the woman behind the billboards, and less still about how far Phillips would go to cover up the truth about their relationship. THE GLAMOROUS LIE tells Wilkins’ account of the years leading up to, during and after the relationship. Phillips’ lawyers not only threatened the festivals that made THE GLAMOROUS LIE an official selection; they sent “background materials” to media in order to mute press coverage of the film. The Slamdance screening will let the hundreds of media—as well as the public—gathered in Park City see the film for themselves. Wilkins says, “[Phillips], his associates and his legal team know they can't intimidate me so they have resorted to threatening everyone associated with me, including the film festivals and theaters who, before receiving the threatening cease and desist letters, had enthusiastically accepted THE GLAMOROUS LIE as an ‘Official Selection’ screening.” She continues, “I am not afraid of people finding out who the ‘real’ YaVaughnie Wilkins is; I’ve put it on screen and paper for all to see. Phillips cannot say the same. We are looking forward to each festival screening and stand ready in each case to blunt Phillips’ attempts to quash them.” The film’s ongoing drama—Wilkins, family members, friends, businesses associates and even casual past acquaintances remain victims of ongoing surveillance and intimidation—makes the final chapter of THE GLAMOROUS LIE a softer than cliff’s edge, with another chapter perhaps yet to be written.
