BREUER DOCUMENTARY “MORE THAN ME” TO PREMIERE ON CURRENT TV NOV. 10.

BREUER DOCUMENTARY “MORE THAN ME” TO PREMIERE ON CURRENT TV NOV. 10. Comedian and “Saturday Night Live” alumnus Jim Breuer’s feature documentary “More Than Me” will receive its worldwide television premiere on November 10, 2012 at 8pm ET/5pm PT on the Current TV cable network.

The film, co-produced by Pilotfish Productions and Lazy Eyes Productions, chronicles Breuer’s experiences as the primary caregiver of his 84-year-old father while on the road for a cross-country comedy tour. “I knew he needed to get out of the house … I knew this would give him so much life,” Breuer says in the film referring to his father.

Shot in 2008, “More Than Me” has since made the rounds on the festival circuit, including a screening at the inaugural ArcLight Documentary Film Festival in Hollywood in 2011 and a Best Documentary award at the United Film Festival-New York earlier this year. “It’s taken us four years to get to this point,” said director, William Philbin. “You stick with it because you believe your story needs to be told. And it’s great to have a partner in Current that shares our belief.” Philbin’s partner at Pilotfish and “More Than Me” producer, Zac Greenbaum, echoed the director’s sentiment. “‘More Than Me’ is our first feature film; the footage was shot shortly after we founded our company, so it’s extremely gratifying to finally expose it to a larger audience.”

The deal gives Current an exclusive 2-year license to broadcast the documentary to its 60 million U.S. households.

Until now, “More Than Me” has only been available for purchase on DVD through Breuer’s website.

Jason Connell, owner of United Films and “More Than Me” sales representative, orchestrated the deal after spending several months searching for the film’s TV home. “In the end, Current was the perfect fit. Their programming is always thought provoking and they appreciate the power of documentary film to educate and entertain at the same time.”

“Our goal is to provide our viewers with unique content that matters,” said Mike Bunnell, Current’s vice president of programming. “The subject matter of ‘More Than Me’ -- caring for aging family members -- is something we all can relate to. And it’s the very raw, funny, intimate way in which this story was captured that makes it special. It will definitely spark some conversation.”

Pilotfish’s experience documenting complex subject matter such as caregiving and aging extends beyond this documentary to include producing a series of award-winning TV advertising campaigns and promotional short films for Eskaton and Aging Services of California, among others.
