Synopsis
Ask any American worth their salt what they know about William Henry Harrison, and they'll probably politely ignore you. Offer that same person the chance to have their reply in an independent film synopsis, and they'll probably say, "Well, I think he was that president who died only a month into office." Well, either way, that person would be wrong.
In truth, the president known as Ol' Tippecanoe actually rewrote American history. How did he do this? By faking his death in the pursuit of power at the helm of a shadow government known only as the Fraternity. You see, Harrison was not content with the bureaucracy of Washington D.C., so he joined what was, until recently, the most super secret conspiracy ever assembled.
That is, until it stopped being a secret when a young female reporter found out and had the guts to report it.
The Triumph of William Henry Harrison is the story of our ninth president, but it is also the story of Amanda Delacourt. After inheriting the life's work of her deceased mentor, Amanda was shocked to learn that he had left her a trail of clues leading to an unbelievable story about an otherwise unremarkable man. Armed with a few inside leads and a bucket of tenacity, Amanda begins a quest to fill in the gaps and bring this momentous story to the public. But it won't be an easy task, because along the way she's forced to outwit Fraternity spies hellbent on shutting her down.
The Triumph of William Henry Harrison was produced, directed, written, filmed, and edited by Daniel Califf-Glick, and stands as his premiere full-length motion picture. Featuring narration by Hollywood legend Ed Asner and a musical score by Jacob Sanders, this hysterical, historical mockumentary also includes analyses by New York Times bestselling author and Newsweek Senior Editor Jonathan Alter, Rutgers University political scientist Ross Baker, and several less interesting fictional scholars. Together, they ponder the answer to the greatest "What if?" of all time: "What if America's shortest-lived president was actually somehow relevant?"
