REVIEWS of Bush's Brain...
bushsbrain.com
“The blueprint for what's happening now is all up there on the screen.
- Tina Brown,
WASHINGTON POST
“Depicts Rove as the most powerful political consultant in American history and, in essence, a co-president.”
- USA TODAY
“Karl Rove. Hard to find a more compelling documentary subject: the Svengaliesque, ruthless, remorseless, cold-blooded but brilliant political puppet master whom many credit with masterminding not only George W.'s improbable ascent to the governorship – and, even more improbably, to the presidency – but also with the end of bipartisan government itself.”
- Anne S. Lewis,
AUSTIN CHRONICLE
“This film should truly frighten partisans on both sides of the aisle.”
- Merle Bertrand,
FILM THREAT
“ BUSH'S BRAIN- is sure to be one of the most explosive documentaries about American politics in a decade.”
- Nancy Shafer,
TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL
“ BUSH'S BRAIN is not about being a Republican or a Democrat. It’s about living in a nation where the power may be in the hands of people with questionable intentions… it’s an absorbing documentary, a portrait of media in need of answers and a country in need of more questions.”
- Matt Dentler,
SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST FILM FESTIVAL

About the Filmmakers:
Michael Paradies Shoob
Director/Producer
Michael wrote, produced and directed DRIVEN which stars Tony Todd, Daniel Roebuck, Whip Hubley and Chad Lowe. It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and won honorable mention for the jury prize at Slamdance. In connection with DRIVEN, Michael was picked by Screen International Magazine as “one of the new directors to watch in North America”. DRIVEN was part of a groundbreaking partnership with public television. The film premiered in primetime on KCET in Los Angeles as the first in a series called OPENING NIGHT:NEW AMERICAN FILM. The series was designed to “sneak” new independent films to public television audiences a few days before their theatrical release. The film was later seen on Showtime and the Sundance Channel. Michael has also directed IN JUNE AT THIS PLACE, a documentary on a Quaker family living in Appalachia and the half-hour short, THE COMPANION. He was a Directing Fellow at the American Film Institute.

Michelle Shocked
Music
Defying categorization, Michelle’s albums have included the swing-jump-jive horn driven CAPTAIN SWING (1989), ARKANSAS TRAVELER (1992), a travelogue of the old-time string band and fiddle tunes she grew up playing in East Texas, and the landmark SHORT SHARP SHOCKED (1994). Raised in the Piney Woods of East Texas in a large, extremely poor fundamentalist Mormon family, Michelle escaped to Dallas in the summers to live with her hippie-atheist biological father. She left home for good at 16 and put herself through the University of Texas at Austin, where her innate contempt for authority led her to pursue the most impractical degree she could imagine – Oral Interpretation of Literature. (“It still gets me to this day that it became my career,” she confesses.) Michelle currently lives in Los Angeles, and is active in numerous social causes, including “Save Africa's Children,” which addresses orphans caught up in the AIDS pandemic on the African continent.
