Logline: Our movie attempts to reveal who Pauline Kael was, how she became a creative force, and her distinctive view of 20th century movies.
Elevator Pitch: This is the story of maybe America’s most compelling, popular and divisive critic, in any art form — Pauline Kael, who had so much to say that she published 13 books of her work. Our film is an attempt to show a history of late 20th century movies through her insightful and sensitive lens, and find out who she was.
Production Team:
About the Film: I’m trying to bring the work of Pauline Kael alive, and make it live on screen. It’s a movie about a movie writer, but moreso, it’s a movie about movies, and recent movie history. I also hope to bring HER alive to the audience, and through the elements we’re using in the film, reveal what made her tick. Reading her as a young person, she was an inspiration to me. I hope to create, in the audience, the same excitement and urgency about movies that I felt in her writing when I first found her on the page.
Current Status: Principal photography is complete. Currently fundraising on Kickstarter.
