One Day Since Yesterday: Peter Bogdanovich & The Lost American Film
One Day Since Yesterday: Peter Bogdanovich & The Lost American Film is the story of maverick film director Peter Bogdanovich’s love for both the late Dorothy Stratten and his “lost” film They All Laughed. Murdered by her estranged husband as Bogdanovich was editing the film, One Day Since Yesterday summons up the romance, heartbreak and devotion present as Bogdanovich bought his film back from the studio when they threatened to shelve it and his efforts to distribute it himself, almost to his own ruin. A real life love story of passion and belief in the power of art. One Day Since Yesterday is an homage to the lost era of the 70s American Auteur, staking a claim for They All Laughed as the last great film of that time.
“Haunting and bittersweet. Bogdanovich bravely lays his soul bare in this remarkable film”

“One of the best music documentaries to be released in recent years.” – John Curley,
Goldmine Magazine
“Comprehensive, entertaining and star studded”
– Richard Roeper – Chicago Sun-Times
“There has never been a rock biopic quite like “Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple” because there’s
never been a human being quite like Stevie Van Zandt. A generously chronicled portrait of a
rock and roll great” – Verne Gay, Newsday
“Electric, infectious and celebratory, “Disciple” is the rare film that yearns – like Stevie
himself – for the preservation of the genre and spirit of Rock N’ Roll ” – Cara Cusumano,
Tribeca Festival – Festival Director - (World Premiere: Spotlight Documentary)
“A Rock n Roll epic like no other!” —- Jay Lustig, NJ Arts
Another thing “Disciple” does well is to just let the jams tell the story. You’d think music
documentaries would always be heavy on performance footage, but that often isn’t the case.
“Disciple” bucks that trend – Johnny Loftus, Decider
“Disciple” plucks the right notes. What really elevates “Disciple” is the dizzying list of bold-
faced names that pop up seemingly at the drop of a guitar pick. When Van Zandt mentions
the seminal experience of seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan’s show, it’s almost immediately
followed by an interview with Paul McCartney. “Disciple” wears its soul, and its love for the music these artists created brightly displayed where all the world can see it.” - Brian Lowry, CNN
