The Imagemaker
In a convoluted story of one man's obsession, widower Roger Blackwell has been a media advisor to
countless politicians, probably one too many as it turns out. Blackwell is set on using his
experience to make a film about the manipulation of the media by unscrupulous politicos. His video
obsession is apparent when he has an actress dress up as his deceased wife (a suicide he could have
prevented) and films her for playback on monitors around the house. Blackwell hypes an
incriminating tape in his possession that implicates the President of the U.S. in some dirty
dealings. Then he cons an old enemy, Molly Grainger into covering his public unveiling of the tape
which he plans to do on a talk show. What happens next is a series of events that lead to a
surprise ending - and more questions about whether or not the media is shafting the politicians as
well.
