He is the creator of a fictional short film titled "Military Takeover of New York City", consisting of daytime footage of Times Square accompanied by a voice-over of an actor portraying a military officer who debriefs other officers on a planned military takeover of the city on New Year's Eve ("the Film"). The Film is intentionally framed in a realistic style, with nothing to indicate that it is a fictional dramatization. The purpose of the Film, according to the complaint, was to raise issues about the then-upcoming millennium, Americans' distrust of government, and the use of racial hatred to manipulate the American people.
