Filmmaker Helps Educators Meet New Constitutional Mandate

Under new Department of Education legislation schools and colleges must offer a program on the U.S. Constitution around the September anniversary of the Constitutions ratification.

McKinney, TX (PRWEB) June 9, 2005 -- Under new Department of Education legislation schools and colleges must offer a program on the U.S. Constitution around the September anniversary of the Constitutions ratification. Filmmaker Dean J. Augustin is hoping to help by offering educators a huge discount on the DVD version of his third independent film, Anthem.

Anthem, which recently received a Remi Award at the WoldFest Houston Film Festival, is a documentary that explores the fundamental question, What does the Constitution of The United States say?"

My brother is a school teacher and appears in the film," according to Augustin. He always talks about unfunded mandates and maybe Anthem is an inexpensive alternative to the new Constitutional requirement."

Anthem has been screened at three festivals this year and people who have seen the film are impressed by its unbiased nature. According to Susan Adkins of Adkins and Associates, Anthem has to be one of the most unbiased, fair, and interesting assessments of the American people and the American constitution Ive seen or heard."

Augustin never considered schools and colleges as a place to show Anthem until he received a letter from patron Dave Kerford of Atlanta, This is a film for our classrooms. It could easily compliment any Applied Constitutional Course in a present setting." Since then Anthem has been included in high school and college classrooms around the country.

Anthem was filmed in College Station and McKinney, Texas as well as Paris and Normandy, France. I was looking for a fusion of technology with the 'roots of independent film." says the McKinney, Texas, based filmmaker. A simple production that informs and entertains a wide audience."

Although the DVD version of Anthem is available on Amazon.com, for educators using Anthem in their classrooms, The Good Fight - Digital Motion Pictures, Augustins Production and Distribution Company, is offering a 25% discount on any Anthem DVD purchased.

Just go to our Video Shop (http://www.customflix.com/206552) and use the code 82LDG84U," says Augustin, Its a great way to introduce our films."
