Sacred Cow Productions

Sacred Cow Productions

Sacred Cow Productions is a production company owned by Kevin Booth which focuses on hard-hitting subjects like the The War on Drugs and other controversial subject matter such as Waco and 9/11. Sacred Cow Productions also has produced videos and albums of famous comedians such as Bill Hicks, Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope.

acred Cow's Beginnings

In the early 80's, a core group of friends consisting of young, philosophic musicians and comedians produced a weekly TV show for Austin cable access. Over twenty years later Sacred Cow still tries to distance itself from any sort of organized movement.

About Producer Kevin Booth

Director Kevin Booth started out in the music business in the late 80s when his band Year Zero signed a deal with Chrysalis records. Although Year Zero ended up in the "No Hit Wonder" file, Kevin went on to produce several records, music videos and short films.

Kevin Booth is most widely known for his work with comedian Bill Hicks. Kevin started Sacred Cow Productions in 1986 and produced most of Bill's CDs and earlier videos that helped lead to HBO specials and Letterman appearances. Kevin published a book, "Agent of Evolution", about his life with Bill.

At the turn of the century Kevin became more politically involved and produced several films with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, most notably "Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State", while also doing comedy DVDs with Fear Factor's Joe Rogan and Comedy Central's Doug Stanhope.

Kevin Booth has a personal interest in the Drug War after losing his best friend and several family members to alcohol, cigarettes & pharmaceuticals. Booth's father died from an alcohol-related illness during the course of the three-year filming schedule but it was the discovery that the government classifies Marijuana as being more dangerous then Crack or Crystal Meth that sent Kevin on a mission to understand the drug war.

Booth has recently narrated a film, "" which attempts to make light of serious subjects.
