Excerpt. 

Prior to Hating Breitbart, Marcus worked with Juan Williams on Tale of Two Missions, a documentary about school choice in Chicago.

In a speech featured in Hating Breitbart Briebart said, “We have an obligation to fight back.” Like many, I miss having Breitbart with us during such a pivotal time for the future of the country. Thanks to Hating Breitbart we are reminded of who he was, who our political enemies are and why we need to continue to expose them. As long as we follow his lead, Breitbart is here.

Please support the Breitbart Children’s Trust. Donations can be sent to 149 S. Barrington Ave, #735 Los Angeles, CA 90049.

Each week the De Pasquale's Dozen asks political figures and free market-minded writers and entertainers to take a break from politics and talk about their pop culture obsessions.

AMERICAN THINKER REVIEW OF 'HATING BREITBART'


Scott Swett of the American Thinker reviews the film "Hating Breitbart". The review does contain some light spoilers. Excerpt.

Hating Breitbart is clearly a labor of love, and as such, it has a fair number of "inside baseball" moments.  Some viewers may tire of watching Breitbart lounge around hotel rooms being quirky and mercurial, at the expense of more footage of his powerful public appearances.  However, both of the "operating modes" Breitbart claimed as his complete repertoire -- jocularity and righteous indignation -- are fairly represented.  His righteous indignation usually targeted the left's politics of division, which he summarizes crisply as "the opposite of e pluribus unum."

WASHINGTON EXAMINER INTERIVEW WITH "HATING BRIETBART" DIRECTOR



The Washington Examiner has an interview with "Hating Breitbart" director Andrew Marcus about the documentary.

Excerpt. 

“It was an absolute blast,” Marcus explained. “It was also the most exhausting thing I had ever been a part of. The guy had boundless energy.”
The long awaited documentary of Breitbart will premiere tonight in Washington D.C. and opens in theaters on October 19.
When Marcus speaks about the film, he takes the tone of a storm-chaser, who couldn’t stop following Andrew Breitbart sweep the country and sweeping up  everything in his path. That experience lasted two years, which Marcus still marvels about today.
“I was always very shocked at the things that would unfold in front of our cameras, but you know reliably every time we turned them on and he was around crazy stuff would happen,” Marcus said.

HATING BREITBART DELAYED DUE TO RATINGS ISSUE WITH MPAA



Interesting news broke today from the Daily Caller. 

Producers of the biographical documentary “Hating Breitbart” got news last week that their film received an “R” rating from the Motion Picture Association of America. And with that move official Hollywood, long the preserve of liberal culture warriors, has had what appears to be the last laugh on the late Andrew Breitbart.

[snip]
Andrew Marcus, the director of “Hating Breitbart,” which was scheduled for release on Oct. 12, told The Daily Caller on Sunday that the film’s nationwide unveiling has been pushed back one week while he and his team approach the MPAA with a request for a re-hearing. That decision, he said, was made over the weekend.
Foul language, he told TheDC, was the only rationale the MPAA gave for reaching its rating decision.
“There’s no nudity, there’s no sex,” Marcus said. “Just the occasional f-word.”
 
Indie films often run into problems with MPAA over ratings and it appears Hating Breitbart is no exception to that rule. So what was in the film to give it an R rating?

Find out on Oct. 19th!
