Off to the IFP

We’re off to the IFP (Independent Film Project) Market in NY this weekend (September 16) with the film, and thrilled at our reception to date. First we were excited we got in. Now we’re reeling at the prospect of 17 meetings with almost all of the companies, broadcast entities and individuals we had hoped would ask to talk with us about “The Most Dangerous Man in America.”

While still early in the process, The 13 minute clip is actually beginning to reflect the texture and contours of the film we’ve been envisioning. The story trajectory is evolving daily, deepening in its import and impact.

This documentary could have been written by John le CarrĂ©, but it’s true! We can’t wait to bring it to a theater and TV screen near you.

Check out the 2 minute clip here and let Rick Goldsmith and me know what you think.

Thanks,

Judith Ehrlich

  1. I met Rick today when I sat next to him at “Into the Wild,” and he told me about your film. I Googled it, found the clip, and just wanted to say that it looks fabulous and I wish you guys the best of luck. Can’t wait to see the finished documentary. Please tell him hi!

  2. This is going to be successful on every level. Well done!

  3. I’ve long believed Daniel Ellsberg’s story was one worthy of telling in a feature length doc. I’m just sorry you beat me to the punch. This looks like a first-rate project. I wasn’t thrilled with the Kissinger in a box effect because the overall production value of the rest of the clip looks fabulous and that effect doesn’t measure up. I wish you the best of success with this very important film.

  4. We have more good news to share following our incredible response at IFP- 25 enthusiastic meetings with television and theatrical leaders (we heard it was a record number). We have been chosen in the ITVS Open Call which means major funding and a probable PBS broadcast. POV and PBS have already stated a definite interest in the film, as well as Sundance Channel and A&E We had promising meetings with Sony Pictures Classics and Magnolia Pictures regarding theatrical release. It’s all good!!
    We’re moving forward towards sharing this incredible story of personal courage in the face of a dreadful war and the lies that created it.
    We now face the necessity of raising several hundred thousand dollars to match the ITVS contribution. Let us know if you’ve got ideas or want to contribute. Our non-profit, tax exempt organization is KOVNO Communications. OUr snail mail address is 2600 Tenth St. #628, Berkeley, CA 94710.
