Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story

By Jennifer Granick

For you political junkies out there, this movie is not to be missed — Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story

I’m not just saying this because our friend Stefan Forbes made it. Read for yourself, and maybe we’ll see you at the theater:

DO YOU WANT TO LEARN THE DARKEST SECRETS IN AMERICAN POLITICS…AND LAUGH OUT LOUD?

Something exciting is happening. The indie film Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story is hitting screens in 40 American cities! This urgently relevant film received its own editorial in the New York Times for exposing McCain’s negative playbook against Obama. It will be at the Opera Plaza (2:00 4:30 7:30 9:45) and the San Rafael Film Center all week (matinee, 6:45PM).

The NY Times calls Boogie Man “riveting” and honored it as a Critic’s Pick. The LA Times calls it “hugely entertaining”, and Entertainment Weekly says it’s “incisive…terrific!” The Village Voice called it “fascinating.” MSNBC’s Morning Joe and NPR’sTalk of the Nation have featured director Stefan Forbes. The Washington Post made it their #1 Can’t Miss Pick and says “In this can’t-look-away documentary…there is more than one moment that will likely pop your jaw open.” And in Hollywood they’re already buzzing about Boogie Man as an Oscar pick! http://reporter.blogs.com/goldrush/2008/10/its-a-tale-much.html#more This indie film has a tiny ad budget and is relying on YOU to get the word out. You are the tipping point. SEE THE TRAILER: www.BoogieManFilm.com
