Larry Cohen is the living definition of an American film auteur -- a fiercely independent and thought-provoking artist who infuses all his work with insightful social commentary and a unique brand of biting satire. KING COHEN takes an exciting look at Larry Cohen’s astounding, 50-year-plus, still ongoing legacy – from his iconic 60’s television work (creating BRANDED and THE INVADERS among others) to his legendary 70’s feature films BLACK CAESAR and HELL UP IN HARLEM, and his wildly original, influential horror classics IT’S ALIVE, GOD TOLD ME TO, Q: THE WINGED SERPENT and THE STUFF. Whether tackling controversial subjects single-handedly, (writing/producing/directing a searing portrait of J. Edgar Hoover with THE PRIVATE FILES OF J. EDGAR HOOVER), or crafting slick, suspenseful original A-list screenplays for the studios (BEST SELLER, PHONE BOOTH, CELLULAR), Larry Cohen has always done it his way, and with a quirky, dangerous energy all his own. He is a true maverick -- a man who embodies a spirit of creative and personal cinema that is increasingly endangered in today’s corporate moviemaking culture KING COHEN: THE WILD WORLD OF FILMMAKER LARRY COHEN will be completed and released in 2015, featuring all-new, on-camera interviews with Larry Cohen, Jon Burlingame, Joe Dante, James Dixon, Megan Gallagher, Mick Garris, Fred Keller, Yaphet Kotto, John Landis, Laurene Landon, Michael Moriarty, Daniel Pearl, David J. Schow, Ryan Turek, Fred Williamson and more! The film is produced, written and directed by Steve Mitchell, produced by Matt Verboys and Dan McKeon, executive produced by M.V. Gerhard and John Dadlez and associate produced by Mary Skrenes. For info and updates, follow us on Twitter @KingCohenMovie
