OFFICIAL SELECTION 2007 SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST FILM FESTIVAL
|
If, in 1940, you had a lobotomized aunt, an institutionalized father, a racist mother, and were the only gay kid on the block, what do you think the odds would be that you'd end up a Tony winner, a staple of television, and a generational icon? Enter The Life Of Reilly. The clichÈ goes that truth is stranger than fiction. In this case, it is also funnier and more heartbreaking. Charles Nelson Reilly, famous for his game show innuendos and guest appearances, takes us through his bizarre, star-studded, tragic, hilarious, and ultimately amazing life with a potent blend of tenderness and quick one-liners. The Life Of Reilly is an adaptation of Mr. Reilly's acclaimed one-man show and was photographed for the screen during Mr. Reilly's final two performances of his play in North Hollywood, California.Frank L. Anderson & Barry Poltermann
Poltermann most recently directed new media web campaigns for L'Orange Studios in Los Angeles. Prior to that, he directed television commercials for Los Angeles-based Neue Sentimental Films. From 1996 until 1999 he directed for Superior Street Productions/Spoke Films in Chicago and Los Angeles. Poltermann’s first feature film as a director, Aswang, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1994. In addition to his directing, Poltermann co-founded the web based film financing company Civilian Pictures and currently serves as its CEO. Poltermann has edited several documentary pieces for Bravo/IFC's Split Screen program, as well as Chris Smith and Sarah Price's highly acclaimed documentary American Movie, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 1999 and was a Sony Pictures Classics release. Currently he is editing The Pool, a new film by Chris Smith, and serving as an executive producer on the documentary Rock The Bells, which chronicles the behind-the-scenes struggle to put together the final performance of hip-hop supergroup The Wu Tang Clan.
