Hill Harper, Tom Arnold and Robinne Lee Star in New Award-Winning Politically Controversial Film "This Is Not A Test," Available on DVD January 20, 2009 -- Inauguration Day

Sure to create controversy, "This Is Not A Test" tackles the government's fear campaign to the American people head-on. Acclaimed film-maker Christopher Angel's satirical masterpiece deals candidly with the hot-button topics of terrorism, natural disasters, and fear in America that make us ask ourselves the question, "Are We Prepared?"

Paranoid that terrorists will unleash a nuclear attack on Los Angeles, Carl (Hill Harper) gets caught up in a web of frantic, overzealous preparation that puts a cold-war freeze on his relationship with his beautiful wife, Viv (Robinne Lee). Fueling his hysteria is his new pal and unusual ally Tom Arnold (playing himself), who shares Carl's obsessive zeal to prepare for the worst. Carl goes as far as constructing a bomb shelter in his basement, making everyone around him feel he has lost his mind. And being torn between his love of safety and love for his wife, Carl is courting a fallout that he is totally unprepared for in this smart, hilarious satire about homeland security that will have audiences exploding in laughter.

"I was provoked by the government's bungled response to Katrina and I wondered what would have happened in a city like Los Angeles. I wanted to use humor to spur debate on a serious issue," says director Christopher Angel.

"This Is Not A Test" has already received rave reviews and won several prestigious film awards, including the Audience Award from Urbanworld Film Festival, Best Comedy Award from Breckenridge Film Festival, Best Director, Storyline, and Actor (Robinne Lee) from Boston International Film Festival.
