We have received word that Jan Lewan, the Polka King himself, and his wife Rhonda will attend this Thursday’s repeat screening of THE MAN WHO WOULD BE POLKA KING at the Brooklyn International Film Festival.
Jan is recently released from 5 years in state and federal prison, and is apparently anxious to see our film about his life and his illegal investment scheme. We assume he is prepared to answer a few questions after the screening, along with co-director Joshua von Brown.
Please join us at the screening and help spread the word about this very unique event!
THE MAN WHO WOULD BE POLKA KING
Thursday June 11 at 5 PM, Brooklyn Heights Cinema, 70 Henry Street, Brooklyn
Get your advance tickets HERE. We hope to see you!

We promised to announce the exciting premiere of THE MAN WHO WOULD BE POLKA KING. A special surprise… how about two?!
We are excited to announce that on June 1, we will world premiere our film at the prestigious KRAKOW FILM FESTIVAL in Krakow, Poland. It is the oldest film festival in Poland and one of the best documentary festivals in Europe. What better way to launch the film than where the story of the Polka King all began— Poland.
Then, just a few days later we will be making our U.S. Premiere right at home: at the BROOKLYN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. This is a wonderful film festival in its 12th year and we are super-stoked that we can screen it here.
More details very soon, including the exact screening date and time of our Brooklyn screening, as well as more possible surprises!

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!
