Jack ABRAMOFF

·United States of America
·Lucky Porter Films, President

Jack Abramoff is President of Lucky Porter Films, a motion picture production company currently
developing film and television projects in Europe, Asia and North America.
Abramoff and the other principal participants in Lucky Porter are responsible for almost 200 motion picture and television productions over the last four decades. Abramoff is also known as the man who became America’s most successful and powerful lobbyist in Washington, DC, but his motion picture production career includes successful action pictures “Red Scorpion” and “Red Scorpion 2,” as well as Karate Masters. Jack also taught in the entertainment law seminar at the Georgetown University Law Center for over a decade. After a stint heading President Ronald Reagan’s grassroots lobbying organization based on Capitol Hill, Abramoff became one of the most powerful men in Washington, before being felled in a harrowing and
controversial political affair in 2004. His rollercoaster ride through the halls of power was the basis for the feature
motion picture “Casino Jack” with Kevin Spacey playing Abramoff, and Jack was one of the few non-elected power brokers featured on the cover of Time magazine. Jack’s best-selling book, “Capitol Punishment” highlights both his life story and how the system of power works in America’s capital. Jack is a frequent commentator on the major news networks in the United States.
