Just before this year's Milwaukee International Film Festival kicked off, we introduced you to a local film and commercial production company called Purple Onion.
Last year, Purple Onion finished executive production on a film called "The Life of Reilly," a character piece / documentary about '70s gay TV icon Charles Nelson Reilly that screened at 2006's MIFF.
This year, the Milwaukee-made film is opening in New York and Los Angeles to vast acclaim, including a very positive review on Broadway.com by noted New York Magazine theater critic John Simon, and a New York Post blog claiming it's the "best reviewed film of the year."
Just another way that Milwaukee is making its way on the movie industry map.
