WATERGATE'S BIGGEST SECRETS ARE ABOUT TO UNWIND...

In 1974, a White House transcriber is thrust into the Watergate scandal when she obtains the only copy of the infamous 18½ minute gap in Nixon's tapes.

Director Dan Mirvish's critically acclaimed comedic thriller features an all-star cast including Willa Fitzgerald ("The Fall of the House of Usher"), John Magaro (Past Lives), Vondie Curtis Hall ("Daredevil"), Catherine Curtin ("Stranger Things"), Richard Kind (Inside Out) and Sullivan Jones ("The Gilded Age") with the voices of Ted Raimi (Spider-Man) as General Al Haig, Jon Cryer ("Two and Half Men") as H.R. "Bob" Haldeman and Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) as President Richard Nixon. "Slyly subversive, occasionally loony and thoroughly entertaining," (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times)

This DVD is a must-see for all aspiring indie filmmakers and fans.

Press Quotes

Yes, another Watergate movie, but this one's fun and totally fictional. Slyly subversive, occasionally loony and thoroughly entertaining.

     —Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

Excellent direction by Dan Mirvish. Outstanding cast.

     —Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com

Mirvish's excellent cast approaches this sequence like a one-act play, swinging at every curveball their fellow actors throw.

     —Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times

A mind-bending, hammed-up, highly paced, farcical, funny, and suspenseful dark fairy tale. This makes it a timeless curveball aimed to hit the strike zone of our minds. The truth will not set you free.

     —Lloyd Sederer, M.D., Psychology Today

I like this! I really like Willa Fitzgerald in this!

     —Christy Lemire, Film Week, NPR/KPCC

Despite tackling an event as politically and socially charged as the Watergate scandal, 18½ is unexpectedly small-scale, zany, and cheeky....Mixing dark comedy and mild suspense, Dan Mirvish's 18½ is not the movie many would expect it to be. But the unpre

     —Andrew Stover, Film Threat

An original story that draws you in from the opening frame... If you are in the mood for a fast-paced, highly intelligent effort with an intricate plot and surprising twists and turns, then 18½ ticks all the boxes.

     —Susan Leighton, Screen Anarchy

Smart comedy thriller... Packed with good humor and fierce intelligence.

     —Matt Looker, Total Film magazine

There is no movie out there quite like 18½. It really hits all the right notes... An indie gem.

     —Chase Hutchinson, Collider.com

No one is making films like this. Mirvish does it near perfectly.
