Swing State is a 2016 American comedy film written and directed by Jonathan Sheldon and starring Alex Beh, Taryn Manning, Billy Zane, Sean Astin Arthur L. Bernstein and Angela Kinsey.[1] [2]
DJ Ethan Smith (Alex Beh), host of a Seattle-based public music radio program, takes over a conservative talk show and creates a fictional Republican persona, Charles Fern. When his fictional persona is a huge hit with listeners, unaware he is parodying conservative political pundits, he continues the ruse and becomes nationally famous, while in his personal life he experiences a series of misadventures.
The film was released on iTunes on November 1, 2016.[3]
Simi Horowitz of Film Journal International gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Nonetheless, Swing State generally scores, and if it’s any indication, Sheldon’s next film should prove winning."[4]
