QUESTION: Who are we to tell this story?

ANSWER: We're the ones who know it the best. We have exclusive access to the story, a comprehensive knowledge base, and a network of leading scholars to advise us.

Executive Producer and Creator Ben Kahn the grandson of Albert and Riette Kahn and oversees the rights to the book The Matusow Affair, Albert's inside account of this national scandal that erupted when he and Harvey Matusow revealed Harvey's lies.  Ben has been passionate about sharing this story since well before the beginning of his career in the film industry two decades ago, and he believes that the national moment is ripe for its telling. He’s assembled a collection of family and collaborators in executing this deck.

This team has fostered relationships with archives across the United States and in Britain, interviewed experts, and amassed a comprehensive library of FBI files, personal correspondence, news clippings, photographs, and never-heard-before audio recordings of conversations between the main characters.  Out of these materials, Ben has distilled a narrative ripe with historical drama. The library of materials he has collected also serves as a well of inspiration for new characters, story lines for FOOL THEM ONCE, and also as a critically important resource for fact-checking the historical accuracy of the series.

All of these assets have been compiled in support of a pitch bible, including summary character sketches, plot point outlines, vision statements, a video teaser that showcases the archival materials in our collection, and a video of the McCarthy Era's current cultural relevance as examined in today's news.

His goal is to partner with a production entity, to refine and craft the deck and network pitch.
