Go-Kart launches Go-Kart Films

Go Kart sent us the following:

We here at Go-Kart Records are extremly proud to annouce that we have
started a new division called Go-kart Films (took us awhile to come up
with that). While Hollywood continues to churn out limp TV remakes and
soulless, big-budget blockbusters, thousands upon thousands of unique
visions continue to thrive in independent filmmaking communities around
the globe. Many of these don't fit into Hollywoods preconceived idea of
what should and shouldn't be released, and because of that, we felt
compelled to start Go-kart Films.

The first film project is the award-winning documentary, Horns and Halos by
Michael Galinski and Suki Hawley. You can click Read More for more information about the film.

HORNS AND HALOS captures the unlikely connection of three men - an ex-con
biographer, a janitor turned publisher, and U.S. President George W. Bush
- whose paths to power and popularity become tangled in a controversial
book.

In October 1999, an article appeared in the New York Times indicating that
publisher St. Martin*s Press had recalled FORTUNATE SON, the first
published biography of George W. Bush, when it was revealed that the
author, J.H.Hatfield, had been convicted for trying to murder a co-worker.
At the time of its recall, the book was a bestseller, no doubt due to the
book*s allegations that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession in
1972.

Several weeks later, small underground imprint Soft Skull Press, led by
the self-styled *punk of publishing,* Sander Hicks, announced that it
would re-publish the book. Set against the backdrop of the fierce 2000
presidential campaign, Horns and Halos follows Hatfield and Hicks as they
battle lawyers, media, and mounting debt to get FORTUNATE SON back on
shelves. After months of lawsuits, bad press and financial ruin, Soft
Skull attempts to make a splash at the Book Expo of America, as Hatfield
reluctantly reveals his sources for the book*s cocaine allegations.
The consequences are explosive and, in light of current events (see book
by Kitty Kelly), are more enlightening than ever.

The film, which has already recieved outstanding reviews from numerous
media outlets including The New York Times, Variety, and The Village
Voice, is now available as a 2-DVD set, loaded with extra features.
