Secret Movie Club is committed to being THE movie theater for movie lovers and movie makers. And when we get an opportunity to screen a new work by an exciting working moviemaker who will join us in person to talk about how they got it done, we take it.
Tonight, we are honored and excited to welcome noted documentary moviemaker Arianna LaPenne to the Secret Movie Club theater for a post-screening Q&A of her new documentary Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story, a four episode doc debuting on Amazon Prime. We will show the first two episodes (approx runtime 80 minutes) then move into a Q&A with Ms. LaPenne.
Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story penetrates the neon-hued world of Lisa Frank Inc., a brand that defined girlhood for a generation of Americans only to seemingly disappear overnight. Behind the rainbows and psychedelic illustrations, the doc investigates a nostalgia-soaked, stranger-than-fiction tale about a hidden world that has been lurking at the heart of the company for decades. Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story features never-before-seen footage and over twenty interviews with Lisa Frank, Inc insiders, enthusiasts, and journalists.
For anyone making movies right now, you know how hard it is to make anything, let alone a long-form documentary. And how much harder it is to get it a platform where it can be truly seen by a large audience.
Join us tonight to see the first half of Ms. LaPenne's doc and then ask her how she got it made. Her journey and insight can help ALL of us navigate the treacherous reefs of the current moviemaking wild seas.
The series is produced by Maxine Productions, a part of Sony Pictures Television – Nonfiction (SPTNF). Executive producers for Maxine Productions are Mary Robertson and Lisa Kalikow, and Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman are executive producers for SPTNF. Arianna LaPenne is director and co-executive producer.
