aBOUT THE FILM
Award-winning RON AND LAURA TAKE BACK AMERICA is a mockumentary satire that follows in the footsteps of such films as Christopher Guest’s BEST IN SHOW and WAITING FOR GUFFMAN. The film follows the exploits of a conservative suburban couple who decide to take their country back from Obamacare, Immigration Reform, Gay Marriage... and Hollywood Health Food Nuts!
Mel England ("Little Big Top"), Janice Markham ("Mostly Kosher"), Irene Bedard ("Pocahontas"), Jim J. Bullock ("Hollywood Squares") & Sally Kirkland ("Ed TV") star in this award-winning mockumentary satire about American politics, religion, Hollywood, health food nuts... and reality shows!
The film is indeed on a festival winning streak, having garnered 16 awards and nominations from the Festival circuit, including “Best Comedy,” “Best of Festival," “Best Director” (England & Markham) and “Best Actress” (Markham) at Indie Fest USA. Earlier in 2014, the film also won “Best Comedy” at the New York City International Film Festival, and earned nominations for “Best US Narrative Feature” and “Best Actor” (England). Most recently, at Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema, the film won "Best Ensemble Cast" and was nominated for "Best Feature" "Best Directors" "Best Screenplay"(England and Markham) "Best Actor" (England) "Best Actress" (Markham) and also nominations for the Mary Austin Women in Film Awards for "Best Director" and "Best Screenplay" (Markham), and "Excellence in Producing" (Markham, Vaccarro and Bedard).
A modern day ALL IN THE FAMILY, the film is a funny, sometimes poignant, look at a family divided by the contemporary political issues of our time. RON AND LAURA draws it’s humor from some painful realities, and sometimes, from just plain silly wacky comedy!
