on little else. The Twenty Questions Association of America is growing

else. Set in the hills of Tennessee this new mocumentry Directed by Benjamin

a stressed out mother of three and aspiring Twenty Questioner, Fritzgerald
McDermott Doubet (Ron Chastain), the leader of the local Twenty Questions
chapter, Martin Miller (Jerry Bowman) the 2002 National Twenty Questions
Champion, and the other members as they strive to win and advance onto
the national Twenty Questions competition. 20Q is a film about the frivolousness
of most of our lives. We as humans spend the majority of our time concentrating
our energies on things that in the end don’t really mean much. In
our film, twenty questions is not just a kid’s game. It is a serious
sport that is sweeping the nation. Lolita Dorchuck (SNL vet Victoria Jackson)
is a frustrated mother of three. Frizgerald McDermott Doubet (Ron Chastain)
is a friendly Antique store manager, and Martin Miller (Jerry Bowman)
is the 2002 national Twenty Questions Champion. This film is a small break
from our busy lives to examine why our lives are so busy. Benjamin Keith
is a recent graduate of a small but up and coming film program in Tennessee.
He has worked on many films most notably producing "COG" www.cogfilm.com
and co-producing "Secret of the Cave" www.SecretoftheCave.com;
"20Q" however is his directing debut. Benjamin now lives and
works in Illinois while his wife Sarah J. J. Mitzelfelt who produced “20Q”

– www.victoriajackson.com Born Aug. 2,1959 in Miami, Florida, Victoria
was raised in a Bible-believing, piano-playing, gymnastic home with no
TV. Her dad was a gym coach, so she competed in gymnastics from ages 5-18.
Cheerleader..homecoming queen.. attended Florida Bible College; received
a gymnastic scholarship to Furman University, attended Auburn University
one year, and ended up in Hollywood, CA via summer stock in Alabama, where
she met Johnny Crawford (The Rifleman) who promptly put her in his night
club act and sent her a one-way ticket to the show-biz capital. Supporting
herself as a cigarette girl, a typist at the American Cancer Society,
and a waitress at a retirement hotel, she performed stand up comedy for
2 years until "The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson" put
her act (which consisted of her doing a handstand while reciting poetry)
on national TV. Following her 20 appearances with Johnny, she starred
in many movies and TV shows, most notably six seasons on "Saturday
Night Live” In 1991 she re-united with her high school sweetheart,
married him and moved to Florida, where he's a police helicopter pilot.
Being a busy mother of two daughters, Scarlet and Aubrey, Victoria still
finds time to appear onstage and on camera and is currently finishing
up her first literary endeavor. |
