Barackula is a short political horror rock musical about young Barack Obama having to stave off a secret society of vampires at Harvard when he was inducted into presidency at the Harvard Law Review in 1990. Obama (Justin Sherman) finds that he must convince the vampire society that opposing political philosophies can coexist or else the society may transform Obama to the dark side. Reminiscent to Michael Jackson's Thriller, and a slight infusion of Jesus Christ Superstar, this short film offers two original musical numbers, "Running" and "This Is Our Time," which, lyrically, are allegorical to Obama's current campaign and speeches. The film solely depicts Obama’s strengths, merits and genuineness while being quietly respectful towards the other presidential candidates. This short musical (run time approx. 10 min) is highly entertaining with dancing Harvard student vampires, fantastic choreography by Victor Tang and Sherman’s physical likeness to Obama is remarkable. Shot on the new RED ONE camera, the quality of the film itself is stunning. Produced by Justin Sherman, Gavin Leighton, Brooke Shirey and Mike Lawson, Barackula – The Musical is exceedingly unique amidst today’s vast online media created by the voting public. The intent of the film makers is to create something fun and memorable during this year’s election. Barackula - The Musical was filmed January 26-27th. NOW PLAYING ON BARACKULA.COM!

"I'm so excited about this candidacy that I just can't tell you. I'm just overfull with joy," Professor Charles Ogletree said to 35 mostly African-American professionals gathered at the faculty club in the Hilton Hotel Toledo on the University of Toledo Health Science Campus, the former Medical College of Ohio.
