It’s here, it’s here! The trailer for the documentary that you didn’t know was coming but should’ve known was coming… presenting: DAMN!, a film all about Jimmy McMillan and his run for the Governor of the State of New York through his ‘Rent is 2 Damn High’ Party campaign / platform.
Here’s a notable blurb about the film:
Thanks to 91 intrepid investors, filmmakers Aaron Fisher-Cohen and Kristian Almgren received just enough funding over Thanksgiving to finish editing their McMillan-centric documentary, DAMN!
Their goal now is to finish the editing process in the next couple of months, with eyes on debuting the film at SXSW in March. But won’t the Jimmy McMillan hype-machine be out of gas by the time 2011 arrives, if it isn’t sputtering on fumes already?
“Great art is often timeless,” Cohen wrote. “I don’t expect Jimmy McMillan to be very popular upon the release, but I don’t think that will hinder our story, or who he is as a person, which is what will make this film great.” [Movieline]
“Great art is often timeless” is clearly the perfect description of not only this film but of the entire Jimmy McMillan / “Rent is 2 Damn High Party” / “NY State Governor’s race” / “the state of politics in America” story.
