The Humphrey Bogart Estate and Filmmaker Steve Anderson Announce Partnership on Independent Film Noir Project

Humphrey Bogart is back in the film business as Bogart Estate Pledges to Match All Donations on Anderson's $75,000 Kickstarter campaign for "This Last Lonely Place"

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Humphrey Bogart Estate and independent filmmaker Steve Anderson are proud to announce their partnership on "This Last Lonely Place." "The main goal of the Humphrey Bogart Estate is to honor and promote my father's legacy," said Stephen Humphrey Bogart, son of the iconic performer. "My father loved film noir, he loved Los Angeles, and he was a big supporter of his fellow artists. Bogie got his big break because of Leslie Howard, and he never forgot it. Therefore, we have made a decision to support independent films whenever we find the type of project Bogie might have liked, and we just couldn't pass up the chance to support director Steve Anderson's ode to film noir and Los Angeles."

Stephen Bogart and his sister, Leslie, are the majority owners of Bogart LLC, the entity through which the Bogart Estate manages the Humphrey Bogart legacy. "Bogart LLC has made the maximum $10,000 contribution to the Kickstarter campaign of 'This Last Lonely Place,' and we encourage all fans of Humphrey Bogart, film noir, and independent filmmaking to check out the project and consider supporting it. We will match every donation, up to the campaign goal of $75,000," said Robbert de Klerk, managing partner of Bogart LLC.

"I am thrilled and truly honored to welcome Bogart LLC to 'This Last Lonely Place,' said writer/director Steve Anderson. "This is a dream-come-true partnership. In 1948, Humphrey Bogart formed Santana Productions so he could make films his own way. In 2012, Kickstarter and digital production enable filmmakers like me to make the movies we want, and the Bogart Estate is supporting the sort of independent films Bogie would have loved. This is a truly historic moment; the old world and the new world becoming one."

Steve Anderson is a Peabody Award winner who wrote and directed "The Big Empty" and produced and directed the hit documentary "F*ck." He will direct and produce "This Last Lonely Place," from his original script. Stephen Bogart and Robbert de Klerk will come on board as Executive Producers.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
