American Tabloid, a 91-minute student film by Andy Miller (2001, USA)
- See the first 13 minutes
- Andy Miller : "I thought I'd tell you a few things about the movie. I made it when I was 16
and 17, with friends of mine acting in it who are around the same age. I made
the movie without James Ellroy's expressed permission. I haven't made any
money off of it and I don't plan to unless I somehow get James Ellroy's
permission.
Since I've finished the movie I've reread American Tabloid and realized some
mistakes I made and that some parts of the book were a little over my head.
While I am very proud of the movie, there are some parts I would like to
change in it."
