Sharon Jimenez & Bill Duke
On Tuesday September 24, 2013 the Bring Hollywood Home Foundation (BHHF) will announce a private sector film production fund for independent ventures in California. This is a major step towards bringing Hollywood home and providing the kind of decent well paying jobs that have been critical to the economy of Los Angeles and other communities throughout California. The Latino Weekly Review article linked above contains the press conference details, noting that:
Gerald Wolf, Jack Mansour, Martin Guigui, Jerry Heller, Polo Munoz, Ed Madinya, Stephen Seidel, Dr. Juan Rodriguez Flores, Gary Visconti, Doreen Spicer Dannerly, Lydia Grant, Kristee Clark, Jan B. Tucker among other guests will announce their participation in the press conference.
At the request of the BHHF, I have invited the participation of Mayor Eric Garcetti and am awaiting his response. He picked up the mantle of promoting the “bring Hollywood home” message from Kevin James who’d made the issue a prime focus of his primary campaign and promised appointment of a Film Czar for Los Angeles (who I hope will be Sharon Hardee Jimenez of BHHF, who has been endorsed for the post by San Fernando Valley/Northeast Los Angeles NOW and the California League of Latin American Citizens).
Speakers at the press conference will include Bill Duke [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Duke] and Edward James Olmos [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_James_Olmos].
About Jan Tucker
The Detectives Diary is an innovative tool combining Private Investigation and Journalism. In 1984, Steve Harvey's Los Angeles Times "Around the Southland" Column entitled Jan Tucker's program of providing low-cost "Opposition Research" services to indigent and working class candidates for public office, "Take Cover: Hired Mudslinger Rides into Town." A 1996 Los Angeles Times article by Henry Chu carried a sub-headline identifying Tucker as a "P.R. Guru." In November 2012, Tucker became Criminal Justice Columnist for Counter Punch Magazine and a commentator for Black Talk Radio.
As a private investigator since 1979 and a former First Vice President of Newspaper Guild Local 69, Tucker takes these skills to a new level in the pages of the Detectives Diary with insightful and unique exposures and analysis of history and current events.
