Sickies Making Films

A Documentary By Joe Tropea

Featuring exclusive interviews with Cult film icon John Waters
"Hilarious and informative"
Film Pulse
"A MUST SEE for all film enthusiasts. A love letter to the movies"
-Film Invasion LA
Film Invasion Los Angeles
"Highly Recommended. Provides a wealth of information documenting both film censorship in the United States writ large and film censorship in Maryland specifically...[John] Waters providing some of the wittiest commentary in the film...Essential for film studies programs, but likely of interest to journalism and media studies scholars as well...provides another piece of the film censorship puzzle, nicely complementing Kirby Dick's examination of the Motion Picture Association of America in This Is Not Yet Rated (2007). Public libraries would also find a likely audience for this well-produced documentary."

Composed of cinematic moments and insightful interviews Sickies Making Films explores the history of American movies by focusing on the nation’s longest surviving censor board, the Maryland State Board of Censors (1916-1981). As motion pictures first began to appear calls for censorship accompanied them. In seven states and dozens of cities, censors banned and altered movies citing reasons such as sex, violence, politics, and race issues. Historian and documentarian Joe Tropea traces the battles, hangups, and eventual demise of the film censors in this hilarious and informative documentary.
