Dateline Editor

'Talk about a fantastic career: The man you'll meet on the broadcast tonight worked as a prestigious doctor, a dedicated pastor, a Red Cross fundraiser.
But his resume was most remarkable for what wasn't on it: one ounce of truth.
What this man really was was the ultimate con artist -- a guy who's played more roles than DeNiro. You'll be surprised at who fell for his tricks. The question is: Will you?

Josh Mankiewicz brings us the tall tale of "The Great Pretender."'

KBC Media partner Chris Barrett serves on the Documentary Jury at the 2007 Philadelphia Film Festival

2007-04-24T13:49:00.000-04:00

Chris Barrett served on the 2007 Philadelphia Film Festival Jury for the 2nd year in a row. After viewing over 15 documentaries the jurors unanimously selected THE CATS OF MIRIKITANI for the Jury Prize for Best Documentary.

'In the best documentary tradition, filmmaker Linda Hattendorf takes an invisible subject--in this case the elderly homeless artist Jimmy Mirikitani, a Japanese-American who has seen both sides of World War II--and peels back the layers of protective covering that have made him blend into the background, so that we can see the extraordinary story at its core. Set against the poignant backdrop of Soho in the weeks surrounding the 9/11 attacks, we are challenged to relearn the lessons of ethnic discrimination. Through its subtle ability to draw parallels between World War II and the War on Terrorism, the film takes us on a surprising journey of resonance and redemption that speaks across generations and into the soul.' - Philadelphia Film Festival Documentary Jury.

KBC Media Partner Chris Barrett appearing in Award Winning Documentary 'Maxed Out' opening in Theaters March 9

2007-03-07T12:07:00.000-05:00

KBC Media Partner Chris Barrett appears in the award winning documentary Maxed Out.

"It is an honor to be part of such an important film that will change the way American's look at credit cards." - Chris Barrett

Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us."

Maxed Out is being released through Magnolia's Truly Indie distribution and Netflix's Red Envelope.

KBC Media Client Donna Hogan Makes Statement regarding the Death of her Sister Anna Nicole Smith

2007-02-08T18:00:00.000-05:00

On behalf of the Hogan Family, we are saddened and heartbroken by my sister's death. No matter what our differences have been over the years, Anna was still our blood and she will be missed terribly. She was a woman who was determined to get out of her small town in Texas and make a name for herself. She became an international star and she was a good mother to Daniel; there is no doubt that her son loved her. They lived out of each other's pockets while he was alive and now they can finally be together again in Heaven.

We feel that the death of her son left her deeply saddened, a sadness she hid from everyone. As a mother of three children, I am anguished by this tragic event and the fact that her new baby daughter Dannielynn Hope is now without a mother.
