No Ordinary Man releases theatrically in US!

It has been a while since I updated, but not for lack of things to say! Our documentary No Ordinary Man has had an extraordinary life since its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2020, and has gone on to dozens of film festivals around the world since September 2020, including DOC NYC, and AFI, BFI Flare, and more.

Oscilloscope Laboratories has picked up distribution in America, and the film is now in its second week theatrically across the country.

Some amazing press highlights:
