World Premiere to be announced soon!

Hello Polka King Fans…

We had a great sneak preview screening at the Boston Underground Film Festival in March, showing where we were at with the film. Post-screening, there was much debate in the audience about how much Jan Lewan knew about the dealings of his Polka Empire. What did he know and when did he know it?

In the coming days check back to our site as we will be announcing the details of our exciting World Premiere!

Berkeley Beacon too

In advance of tomorrow’s sneak preview, Emerson College’s Berkeley Beacon previews our film.

Bad Lit highlights tomorrow’s sneak preview in Boston

The Man Who Would Be Polka King is Joshua von Brown’s triumphant return to BUFF after last year’s killer Altamont Nowwith this sneak preview of his co-directional effort with John Mikulak. The film tells the outrageous true story of Jan Lewan, a polkafied Mini-Me version of Bernie Madoff. I reviewed the film here and it’s screening March 21 at 12:30 p.m.

Bad Lit digs Polka King

“The Pope, Ponzi and polka form the incongruous triumvirate that swirls around the center of The Man Who Would Be Polka King, the deliriously entertaining documentary by John Mikulak and Joshua von Brown. However, the center of the film is not Jan Lewan, the eponymous ‘would be’ king. He’s just the engine that powers the real center: A heady, complex examination of the American dream gone wrong.”
