Welcome to Sacred Cow Productions — forty-two years after it was founded by Kevin Booth (me) and Bill Hicks.

Bill and I met at Stratford High School in Houston in 1976. While we were there, we both joined the track team’s marathon program — not because we were aspiring Olympians, but because marathon runners had practice during first period. That meant we didn’t have to show up for homeroom at 8:00 a.m. for roll call. Instead, we were allowed to just start running. As long as you wandered into school around 9:00 looking a little sweaty and breathing hard, you were good to go.

A few years after graduating we formed A.C.E. — Absolute Creative Entertainment. Eventually, in 1984, I managed to buy a portable color video camera and VHS deck that ran on batteries. That’s when things really started moving. We began making videos and I discovered Austin Community Access TV, which let us use an editing bay and broadcast our shows on Channel 10 on Time Warner Cable. At the time, this was basically the only game in town if you wanted your weird little homemade TV show to actually be seen by other humans.

The name Sacred Cow Productions came from a strange combination of influences. My family had a white Brahma bull on our ranch, Bill was always reading books on Eastern mysticism, and… well… the occasional use of some hallucinogenics probably helped connect the dots.

Our first major production was “Ninja Bachelor Party.” That was followed by “Sane Man,” which eventually led to producing Bill’s CDs.

In 1993 we managed to drive past DPS checkpoints and get surprisingly close to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco — seven days after the ATF raid, when David Koresh was still alive and well.

Another fateful moment happened sometime in October of ’93. Bill and I were hanging out in the break room at Austin Community Access TV when Alex Jones walked by. According to certain “R-word" conspiracy theorists who like to act like they know stuff because they have the internet  this would be impossible because Alex didn’t have a show yet. But Alex had been around the access TV scene long before he had a regular show.

After Bill passed away, I started making trips to Waco with Alex, and Sacred Cow Productions became a little more political for a while.

Long story short, after working on projects with people like Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, and Doug Stanhope, I decided I wanted to focus on projects where I had 100% creative control. That led me into producing the Drug War documentary films.

These days I’m working on developing several new unscripted documentary series — and if you’re here, you’ll probably be among the first to hear about them.

Thanks for your support.
