TORONTO, CANADA: The filmmakers behind anticipated docu-thriller */The
Curve/* will stream the entire movie ad-free free on YouTube for every
American to see, for the entire two weeks leading up to the election.
Thereafter, the filmmakers will pursue commercial exploitation and
distribution for the movie via traditional channels and methods, in an
unprecedented move that radically upends the traditional global
distribution model.
In tandem with the announcement, the filmmakers are today *making the
opening three minutes of the film *available

and are launching a crowdfunding campaign to give voters and viewers a
chance to be a part of this historic motion picture (bit.ly/TheCurveFilm

Made in secret over the past six months, the documentary traces the
crucial three-month period, from mid-January to mid-April, when the
choices made by America’s leaders sealed the country’s fate. It is
produced and directed by Academy Award^® -nominee *Adam Benzine
*(/Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah/), produced by Toronto’s *Jet
Black Iris*, and features an original score by**Emmy^® -winning
composer* Joel Goodman *(/JFK, Walt Disney, Q Ball/).
Producer-Director *Adam Benzine* said: “We had an incredible reaction
when we began showing the movie to buyers during TIFF, but what we found
is that most U.S. networks don't have the ability to turnaround
broadcast of the film before the election. Many of the offers we
received were to play the film later in the year or in 2021.
“This left us with a choice. Do we take the money but lose some of our
impact? Or do we try to get the film in front of American voters before
election day?
“Ultimately, we believe that this movie demands to be seen before
November 3. */The Curve/* is a landmark documentary, capturing a pivotal
moment in American history, and we believe it will have wide-ranging
commercial appeal for a very long time to come.”
Combining original interviews with creatively treated archival footage,
and made under exceptional circumstances, the film boasts interviews
with more than two dozen experts, analysts, researchers, journalists and
political figures, examining nine key failures made by the American
government that allowed an emerging pandemic to become a national
catastrophe.
Among the many experts featured in the film are *Dr. Ali Khan*, former
director of the CDC’s Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response;
*Dr. Emily Landon*,**chief infectious-disease epidemiologist at
University of Chicago Medicine; *Sonia Shah*, investigative journalist
and author of /Pandemic/; *Ilan Goldenberg*, former U.S. State
Department Advisor; *Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner*, director of the
Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC); and *Ed Yong*,*//*/The
Atlantic/’s science writer.
*Mr. Benzine* has assembled an all-star team of predominantly female
creatives for the documentary, including Canadian Screen Award^®
-nominee *Tiffany Beaudin* (/Prosecuting Evil, Man vs. Machine/) as
Editor; *Melissa Hood* (/The Reckoning, On My Way Out/) as Associate
Producer; *Diana Warmé* (/The Skyjacker’s Tale/) as Line Producer; and
entertainment lawyer *Divya Shahani* as Executive Producer.
