UNIONDALE, NY, May 29, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Michael D. Covitt, chairman and CEO of Sabatier Film Group and Malian Manuscript Foundation, was selected by Marquis Who's Who for prominent placement in the New York Edition of The Wall Street Journal, published on May 28, 2026.

Mr. Covitt commenced his adventures in the Peanut Gallery of the Howdy Doody Show. Committed to innovation and excellence, he has risen to higher heights. He excelled in entertainment, philanthropy and global security, where his achievements have been honored by Marquis Who's Who.

His autobiography, "Double Agenda," reveals an intricate web of personal and historical forces that shaped not only his life but the summing up of businesses, politics and culture. The document depicts first-hand accounts and long-guarded secrets, promising readers rare glimpses into the backrooms of power and the crossroads of fame. His life has placed him at immeasurable intersections, from dealings in skyscrapers to the smoke-filled lounges, where the future of industries was debated over a glass of whiskey and lies.

Mr. Covitt's Benchmark Recordings outperformed artists such as Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Madonna. His "My Temptation" album spawned four charting records, two reaching the year's top 10. "My Temptation" was the fastest rising independent release in Canadian history, having the distinction of being the only independent album to attain top 10 status twice in a row.

"333" is aimed at mitigating conflict through dialogue, tolerance, understanding and forgiveness, a sustainable roadmap to peace. Mr. Covitt previewed "333" at the United Nations, where he promoted the peaceful resolution of conflict to an international audience, thereby receiving several standing ovations. He screened "333" at the Library of Congress and attained favorable testimonials from various luminaries, including three four-star generals, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a secretary of state, the U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, and an assistant secretary of state — the then highest-ranking civilian intelligence officer in our nation.

Mr. Covitt launched the first computer lab in an impoverished area in the United States to bridge the digital divide, serving as a model for underprivileged schools nationwide. He served as an advisor to the U.S. Department of Defense regarding global terrorism threats facing our planet in the 21st century. He served on the Public Safety and Justice Advisory Board of RAND Corporation, the original "think-tank" that provides objective analysis and practical solutions to both the public and private sectors.
