shawnbudd
The film "American Drug War - The Last White Hope" has won three consecutive awards for “Best Feature Length Documentary." In late spring of 2007, Kevin signed with Page Ostrow of Ostrow & Company who secured “American Drug War” a deal with the Showtime cable network (CBS). In November of 2007, "American Drug War" was honored at the 2007 [Artivist] Awards Ceremony as the Best Feature Film in the International Human Rights category. American Drug War is Kevin's debut as a narrator and the first of a series of films that will build on his ability to untangle the myths and present serious subjects with a dry wit and eye for the absurd.

A new reality show Kevin is currently in production with, will go along with Ricky Ross as he leaves prison and moves into a halfway house in California. The show will follow his attempt to regain his former fortune through legal means, while at the same time making amends with the community.

    • The subject matter is explored in a raw and unpretentious way. Many of the main stream docs out there are so sterile and overproduced, causing one to wonder if there are agendas being met behind the scenes. Kudos to Shawn and Kevin for keeping us informed without forcing it down our throats. Looking forward to the Ricky Ross production!
