With growing global issues at the fore-front of all businesses and concerns for the environment Atlas Worldwide Syndications and Distributions has acquired a new controversial feature film documentary Sprawling from Grace: Driven to Madness to add to our catalog. With crude oil and gas prices reaching new highs everyday, this feature film documentary directed by David M. Edwards, explores the ravages of American suburban sprawl, while exposing the dependency that suburban America has for cheap fossil fuels. It also explores what America has lost as a result, and how other countries are starting to make some of the same mistakes the United States is currently fighting and the disaster we’ll face if we don’t change the way in which we build our cities.   

This documentary examines a new reason for the worldwide dependency of oil consumption in relation to the infrastructure design of our cities, while exploring our social and cultural responsibilities of becoming a more “green” planet. If the planet continues at the rate we are currently consuming oil we may run out if we don’t look for alternatives.

This hot-button topic featuring former United States president Bill Clinton and former governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis will raise global awareness that will evoke, inform, and motivate the audience.         Shot in High Definition, this 82 min documentary will open your eyes and spark the audience to become a conscious consumer. This documentary is already an official selection at The Breckenridge Int. Film Festival and the Province Town Int. Film Festival.

Sprawling from Grace: Driven to Madness is sure to follow in the footsteps of the acclaimed Oscar- winning film An Inconvenient Truth, The 11^th Hour, and A Crude Awakening.

On The Road With Judas (95 minutes, 2.35:1) - "On The Road With Judas" is a film using an interesting device of stories within stories, of a book's characters, the screen adaptation of those characters, and the author's vision, all of which are looped together around a talk show host's coverage of the writer and his work.

This unique story centers on two high school friends learning thievery for fun, and then as adults perfecting techniques and becoming thieves as an avocation to supplement their entrepreneurial business. Their business crew is clever and hardworking. The ensemble cast plays well together, lead by Aaron Ruell ("Napoleon Dynamite"), Eddie Kay Thomas ("American Pie"), and author/director JJ Lask himself. Judas is a larger than life personality with a collection of coloful friends. Despite his entourage, and his zest for life, when Judas falls in love with his dream girls, he lacks the courage or social interaction to make the first move.

Will Judas ever get the opportunity to make an honest man of himself?

Or will he end up in jail as just another forgotten, lonely thief?

 (Director JJ Lask)
