ABEL RAISES CAIN:
From the filmmaker:
|
ABEL RAISES CAIN is an unprecedented glimpse into the life and bizarre career of Alan Abel, the infamous underground media prankster, who has made a name for himself several times over with stunts that are just ridiculous enough to be believable, especially to a media that feeds on salacious, far-fetched stories.
In this loving portrait of an eccentric father, Alan's daughter, Jenny, tells her firsthand account of what it was like growing up with a prankster. ABEL RAISES CAIN takes the audience on a roller coaster ride through the myriad of elaborate hoaxes and schemes that Abel pulled off over the years, all of which were designed to provoke and amuse...while at the same time, make people question everything that they see, hear and read. "It's an impressive debut, featuring a story that's almost too perfect to be true....This is a heartfelt, interesting and, above all, entertaining film leaving the viewer bewildered as to whether you've heard of this man before. The film can keep you talking, telling others about this hilarious old man who's still pulling the wool over the eyes of an unsuspecting media." - Steven Snyder, MINNESOTA DAILY From the filmmaker: Official website | Trailer | Buy the DVD | Hosting materials Tags: documentary, abel raises cain, media prankster, Alan Abel, culture-jammer, political satire, media criticism, performance art, fake news No screenings of ABEL RAISES CAIN are currently scheduled.
