The Hollywood Outlaw Movie is the true and untold story of the film Bitter Jester. Maija DiGiorgio gives the raw truth behind the making of Bitter Jester and the scandal that led to its demise. We watch Maija struggle as she is one day rising fast and becoming a mainstay in the New York comedy world, mentored by people like Dave Chappelle and Russel Simmons, and then like Pryor and Carlin, gets banned when she refuses to be molded by Hollywood. Maija chooses to walk away from it all and start over by making a film. After she gathers a dysfunctional crew, meets comedy's greatest legends, and screens with rave reviews, Maija finds herself in a life defining battle to gain control of her film. The Hollywood Outlaw Movie stands as a comedic guide on how NOT to make a movie but instead figure out your life. Starring Maija DiGiorgio, Ken Simmons. With George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Whoopi Goldberg, Lewis Black, Bill Maher, Ray Romano, Paul Mooney, Jim Norton, Lisa Lampanelli, Colin Quinn, Phyllis Diller, Chevy Chase and more.
"Making a movie without knowing what it's going to be about is not generally advisable, but Maija DiGiorgio's Bitter Jester makes that process quite entertaining...often hilarious and always diverting...Whole package is a resourceful font of ideas, with no end of visual/editorial gambits and witty soundtracked music choices. DiGiorgio may fret that 'Maybe comedy isn't the thing I should be pursuing'.Regardless, she definitely has a future as a filmmaker."
