Details:
CRAWFORD has sold out screenings at major festivals since 1,200 people attended its SXSX spotlight premiere. The film has been highly praised in Variety, Texas Monthly, Film Threat, Politico.com, The Dallas Morning News and Premiere Magazine among many others.

CRAWFORD has been featured on national TV (MSNBC) and four NPR affiliates, lauded by Jake Gyllenhaal and Richard Linklater and linked to by the NYTâs Frank Rich. Its director, Modigliani has been called one of the ânext great Texas directorsâ and the âanti-Moore.â

Two different AP stories covering CRAWFORDâs screening in the town of Crawford, TX ran in over 110 news outlets across the country and around the world. CRAWFORDâs momentum continued with its recent win of the Brooklyn Film Festivalâs Audience Award for Best Documentary and its European Premiere at the Munich Film Festival. Its trailer has been viewed 34, 203 times on www.crawfordmovie.com - more than half of that in the last month. Itâs an undeniably pertinent, colorful story, with a behind-the-scenes angle thatâs in high demand as the conversation over Bush legacy begins. The following is a comprehensive list of press coverage with relevant pull quotes and links to the print or video source.

Interview with Modigliani: âThis is no Michael Moore diatribeâ¦.itâs not a political polemic. The film is not about Bush. The film is about the people of Crawford. Honestly, Iâm tired of films in the Michael Moore style that I think alienate the very people that a film could welcome into a conversation. Itâs been very meaningful to me that the people in the film, some of whom are very conservative, have supported it. If the film is controversial, it would only be because it portrays each subject of the film as truly as possible.â

Four-page feature.

âModigliani honors that spirit of egalitarianism by focusing his film not on Bush and other grandees, but rather on half a dozen unfamiliar figures, men and women who live their lives in Crawford out of range of the scores of TV cameras deployed to cover the big cheeses melting in the Texas sun.â
