9/11 Conspiracy Thriller ABLE DANGER Premieres in Color on Amazon VOD
Digital Orthochromatic Process Creates Innovative ‘Film Noir’ Look
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, April 27, 2009 – A conspiracy theorist falls head over heals for a mysterious femme fatal and ends up in a web of espionage and deceit; the stuff a classic film noir is made of, and so is the same for a modern take on the genre set to the back drop of a post-9/11 digital age in Paul Krik’s independent thriller, ABLE DANGER, has just premiered on Amazon Video-on-Demand (VOD) as the April Indie Exclusive, and soon after on other online outlets such as iTunes, Jaman, and more. ABLE DANGER will now reach its core audience via the web through this cutting-edge VOD service.
For its critically acclaimed theatrical release last fall in New York and Los Angeles, ABLE DANGER was shown as a black and white orthochromatic digital master used to recreate a look found in the noirs of the 1940s and 1950s. That same look, but now in color, will be seen when the film hits Amazon VOD, resulting in even more eye-popping tension and suspense.
Now you can directly download the film that New York Magazine heralded as effectively mixing “pseudo-Hitchcockian theatrics with a heavy dose of contemporary lefty paranoia.” Filmmaker Magazine said Krik has created “a fast-paced and entertaining story” that TV Guide praised as being “gorgeously photographed.” And The New York Times said ABLE DANGER is “modeled on noir on executed on acid!”
ABLE DANGER is the story of Thomas Flynn, a Brooklyn 9/11 truther (Adam Nee), who falls into a noir pastiche when a mysterious Eastern European beauty (Elina Löwensohn), arrives at his bookstore-café with irrefutable proof of American secret intelligence involvement in the planning and execution of 9/11. When Thomas is implicated in the murder of his friend and employee, he’s forced to unravel her complex web of lies while attempting to fight his natural attraction to her. As it turns out, she possesses the Able Danger hard-drive, the smoking gun that proves the identities and methods of the real architects of 9/11, and Thomas is willing to risk everything to expose the truth. The film gets its title from the real secret government program of the same name that destroyed 2.5 terabytes of data in March 2001, and the café featured is based on the very real Brooklyn café for radical readers, Vox Pop.

With a Masters Degree in existential philosophy and a background in TV commercials, recently known for his Kanye West mock-infomercial viral, Krik has created ABLE DANGER, his first feature film. It blazed the festival circuit last year starting at International Film Festival Rotterdam where it made its World Premiere in a 400-seat theater, selling out all three nights. ABLE DANGER was the Opening Night Film at last year’s Brooklyn International Film Festival, where it received Outstanding Achievement in Production. It later screened at the Cannes Film Market and American Film Market, and was an Official Selection at the Transylvania, Philadelphia, Pifan (Korea) & Warsaw film festivals.

Paul Krik’s Latest Commercial Work for Absolut
Big shout out to my friends at TBWA CHIAT/DAY for calling me up to Direct & Edit this little mock infomercial. It’s great to work with people who get high concept comedy. You can’t really even tell what we’re advertising, but that’s why you’ll forward the youtube link to your friends — ’cause it’s just funny. When you hit people over the head with the what you’re selling they just retreat — they tune it out. And the print ads in the campaign are even better. And, of course, it was great to work with Kanye who walked on the set and told us to tear down the infomercial set we spent two days building and to shoot him on green screen — which we didn’t have. No, seriously, Kanye is one impressively smart mother…
