Theatrical Documentaries edit

In 2007, Atlas Media launched a theatrical documentary division to produce and release feature-length documentaries.[6] The first film from this division, Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise was an official selection of the Montreal World Film Festival and was released theatrically in 100 North American markets in March 2008. The film is a portrait of the rock performer Meat Loaf, shot during the preparation for and beginning of his 2007 world tour. The film received positive reviews from The New York Times ("amusing"),[7] Variety ("revealing ... leaps off the screen"),[8] and many others. The film was directed by Bruce David Klein. It was released in association with Voom HD Pictures and IFC. The DVD was released by Universal in May 2008.

Atlas Media Corp's second theatrical documentary was Robert Blecker Wants Me Dead, which premiered at the USA Film Festival, and was shown at the Rhode Island International Film Festival as well as the Cork International Film Festival in Ireland. It received a Gold Kahuna Award from the 2009 Honolulu International Film Festival.[9] Its theatrical run began in New York City on February 27, 2009, and the film made its television premiere on MSNBC on April 19, 2009.[10]

In Fall 2016, Atlas released another theatrical documentary Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened [1] directed by Lonny Price, produced by Bruce David Klein, executive produced by Scott Rudin, and featuring Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Jason Alexander, Mandy Patinkin and others was an official selection of the New York Film Festival. The film was released in theaters on November 18, 2016, to rave reviews—Entertainment Weekly called it "A Triumph"[2], the Washington Post "Heart-piercing"[3], Rolling Stone "Mesmerizing"[4]—and the NY Times said "a sense of wonder animates every frame and leaves you with a misty-eyed glow."[5] The film was included lists of the Best Films of 2016 by the New York Times [6], The Wrap, and Newsweek [7]—and is currently 94% "Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes.[8]

In July 2021 Atlas announced that it had signed a deal with stage and screen legend Liza Minnelli to produce a feature documentary incorporating "lost footage" of Liza during her spectacular rise in the 1970s. The film is to be produced and directed by Bruce David Klein.
