SILENCE PATTON
THE FIRST VICTIM OF THE COLD WAR
Silence Patton asks the question: Why was General Patton silenced during his service in World War II? Prevented from receiving needed supplies that would have ended the war nine months earlier, freed the death camps, and prevented Russian invasion of the Eastern Bloc, and Stalin's murderous rampage. Why was he fired as General of the Third Army and relegated to a governorship of post-war Bavaria? Who were his enemies? Was he a threat to Eisenhower, Montgomery, Churchill, and Bradley? And is it possible as some say that the General's freakish collision with an Army truck, on the day before his departure for US, was not really an accident? Or was Patton not only dismissed by his peers, but the victim of an assassin's bullet at their behest? Was his personal silence necessary?

CITIZEN TRUMP
A ONE MAN SHOW | DIRECTOR'S CUT 2022
Did you know Donald Trump's favorite film was Citizen Kane? And like Kane his success was largely a savvy media strategy?
In this new film, Citizen Trump, visionary Writer/Director Robert Orlando digs below the political wars to expose Trump's epic pursuit to become America's leading man. Bigger than Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Barack Obama. Orlando claims, Trump's rising star parallels Kane and was a decades long effort.
From aspiring movie mogul, to darling of gossip columnists, to Reality TV star, in the end this was all a rehearsal for the greatest role of all as President of the United States.

Susie Lee, a vibrant servant of her community, has a history so few suspect, given her enviable smiling strength while fundraising for the war vets. One young filmmaker knows better and understands she has a deeper story to tell, and he is determined to unearth it. As a Korean teen, she lived in the harbor city of Incheon when the Red Army invaded in 1950. Her family makes a swift escape to safety in nearby Seoul, but Susie, disabled by polio, is left behind. Soon after, Susie boldly ventures out in search of her beloved father (a pastor).
Along the way, she sees Don, an American G.I., searching for the wounded in the war-torn terrain. He vows to help Susie achieve her quest, but North Korean troops separate them. After her escape and months on the road, she meets Soon Ja, a kindred spirit. Together, they find work in the kitchens of a North Korean military base and discover that the men want more than food. Though separated from her parents and exposed to the dangers and indignities of war, Susie’s hard-won strength, forgiving spirit, and irrepressible hope bring light to many Veterans and their families plunged into darkness. But will her true story ever make it to the big screen?
