Seven years in the making, songwriter/satirist Jim Terr's mockumentary about his own strange saga starts with his 2012 run for President, and circles around his connection with the legendary New York "hit factory," The Brill Building. Narrated by "anchor" Valerie Plame, with cameos from Tony Hillerman, former NM Gov. Bill Richardson, NPR's Scott Simon, humorist Dave Barry, journalist James Fallows and other celebrities, and almost 100 New Mexico actors and singers. Also featuring Suhail Dabbach, the memorable "Man in Black" from 2010 Oscar Best Picture "The Hurt Locker" and star of the new film, "MOSUL."

CURRENT TRAILER


RADIO INTERVIEW:



 

"A great collection of songs and funny bits, but mostly a brave and revealing self-portrait."
-Meredith Britt

"Terr offers up such wonderful songs and comedy bits here that the sketch story thread of
 "The Brill Building Movie" does not even matter." -Bob Wayne

"I loved every minute of it. I was either laughing like hell or having my heartstrings pulled." -John Burns

Uniquely humorous and inspiring.” -Cindy McLeod

"Hysterical -- a whole bunch of Jim Terr style music and comedy. I'm going to see it a second time"
-Michael Miller, film producer

I could watch another 90 minutes of that!” (Albuquerque viewer)

I loved it. I smiled for an hour and a half. It is strangely profound, much like Autobiography of a Yogi,
and should be captioned in at least 53 languages and sent around the world.” -Fred Kline

Now that is a fascinating, far-out film” -Bobby Braddock, #1 US country songwriter

"Droll, deadpan, and dry -- but never dull. Mr. Show meets the Statler Brothers!"
-Michael Liebman

I love your activism and your insights – and the movie combines them perfectly.”
             -former NM Governor Bill Richardson

I have never laughed so much at any movie in my life.” -Barbara Beames

 

"The Brill Building Movie" is brilliant satire. Terr is never afraid to poke fun at himself, which makes it even more hilarious!  He did a monumental job in juxtaposing all his wacky material plus the wonderful music into a fluid visual experience.  In these stressful times, I thank him for giving me the opportunity to laugh so hard it exercised my innards, which in turn made me feel quite alive when the lights came on. "The Brill Building Movie" is a must see!” -Molly Smollett

I loved this film! It had just the right amount of irreverence, sarcasm, irony, and music!” -Diego Romero


"Brilliant and hilarious. It's a great movie." -K.S.

“Jim Terr's spirit shows through consistently in the essays, songs and other projects. It's the droll, sardonic, 'cut the B.S.' outlook that is known around the world as 'American.'“ -James Fallows

One of the true creative geniuses of our time. His is a unique and valuable gift of populism and simplicity. His work is wise, hard-hitting, unusually effective, and deserves the support  of everyone who wishes for a more humane world.  Especially in these particularly divisive times, Jim has a gift for bridging the ‘divide.’ One of the great comedic and auditory geniuses of our day.”      Thom Hartmann
