When We Went MAD! The Unauthorized Story of Mad Magazine

One particular event I’ve been eagerly anticipating was a long gestating behemoth of an endeavor, one that’s finally gotten to see the light of day. After over a decade in the making, Filmmaker/Director Alan Bernstein’s exhaustively researched passion project, the documentary When We Went MAD! The Unauthorized Story of Mad Magazine has been unleashed into the wild. Well, sort of…

Ed Steckley discusses the making of the long in production documentary and his part in it.

Help George Metzger move into a care home.

In 1967, George Metzger began serializing his counterculture comic strip Beyond Time and Again [link added] in underground West coast newspapers, combining high fantasy with prescient views of science, climate change, and political authoritarianism.

    1. Well, I’m no authority, but it’s important to keep in mind the current delay is by no means the fault of Alan or the creators.
      To be considered for any (or most) awards, proper recognition, etc etc, a film has to have at least one theater screening. Therefore it’s not uncommon for a small independent film like this to have a ‘1 & done’ showing, simply to cross off that necessary box. (two, in this case.) This is what will eventually help solidify a distribution deal.
      It’s the distribution acquisition leg of the journey that’s out of the filmmaker’s hands. A slow and frustrating process, to say the least.
      Once a distribution deal is inked, you’ll finally see some movement on this film.
