"Andy Warhol's Factory People"
“What makes this documentary different is its avowed bottom-up approach: Warhol as a function of his followers is the idea. Most successfully,”Factory People” is a picture of bohemians in their age. Some have fared better than others, but a remarkable many have survived to remember. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, the film and its subjects say-but anyway, it was a time.”
-Robert Lloyd, The Los Angeles Times

“The film adds spice to a well-trawled story. Mavericks from the Factory give their take on Warhol and his drug and sex-feuelled studio. The documentary is built loosely around a chronological theme: the making of the Factory, its life and work, its decline. Edited from over forty hours of newly recorded interviews with 20 of Warhol’s now-ageing celebrities and supporters, their testimony to camera is set beside glamorous archive photos. Brilliant editing and inter-cutting result in a fast moving collage, mixing clips from films by and about Warhol, and a vibrant sound track. Four years in the making, the film is meticulously crafted…”

"Andy Warhol's Factory People" 3x'52 Documentary Series was released in the United States on Thanksgiving Day by Ovation TV. You might call it a "counter-programming" effort, as most eyeballs are watching football all day. Preceeding the launch, we found this presentation on the web that positioned the Series nicely and cleverly funneled various brands and other Warholian memorbilia into the presentation. It's a real marketing tour de force!
