NAME OF FILM: DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD: THE STORY OF THE NATIONAL LAMPOON

DIRECTOR(S): Douglas Tirola

GENRE: Documentary Film

SYNOPSIS: A look at the history of the American comedy publication and production company, National Lampoon, from its beginning in the 1970s to 2010. SFF alumni Douglas Tirola and Susan Bedosa, who were previously at Sarasota with their documentary Actress, have gained access to the company that many other documentarians have attempted but failed to gain until now. Featuring rare and never-before-seen footage, this film is a miraculous compendium of a pop culture phenomenon that was the precursor to Saturday Night Live, “Spy Magazine” and “The Onion.”
