IU alumnus and Bloomington native Deren Abram will release his documentary “ClarkWORLD” on DVD tomorrow. The premier event for the film is in Denver and proceeds will benefit Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Abram’s documentary highlights the life, works and tragic death of his friend and mentor Bob Clark, whose directorial work includes “A Christmas Story.”
According to a press release for “ClarkWORLD”, there is a vital message in the film: “Drunk driving needs to end now.” The film follows the life and times of Clark through the eyes of many of his famous friends, including “Sex and the City”'s Kim Cattrall, Denise Richard, Scott Baio and Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie in “A Christmas Story.”
Another film by Abram, “According to Dom,” focuses on the life of comic actor Dom DeLuise, who died in May. It is also recently available on DVD.
