Atlas Shrugged Honored with Ronald Reagan Great Communicator Award

Movie's message of individual responsibility speaks clearly to Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation.


Culver City, CA (PRWEB) May 10, 2011 - The Ronald Reagan Foundation awarded “Atlas Shrugged Part 1” with its inaugural Ronald Reagan Great Communicator Award. Atlas Shrugged Producer Harmon Kaslow accepted the award from Stewart McLaurin, Executive Director of the foundation’s Ronald Reagan Centennial Celebration, at the opening night gala of the 2011 Santa Catalina Film Festival on Catalina Island, Calif., May 6.

“I’m very grateful to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and the Santa Catalina Film Festival for honoring our film with this award,” producer John Aglialoro said. “It reinforces my commitment to getting the story and message of ‘Atlas Shrugged’ to the big screen.”

“The film adaptation of the novel ‘Atlas Shrugged’ highlights the principles of individual responsibility, optimism, and freedom that shaped Ronald Reagan’s personal, professional and political life,” McLaurin said. “I can think of no current film more deserving of the inaugural award as we mark the 100th anniversary of President Reagan’s birth and reflect on the ideals that not only influenced Ronald Reagan but an entire generation.”

The Ronald Reagan Great Communicator Award was created as part of the celebrations of what would have been Reagan’s 100th birthday in 2011. This year’s award marks the 75th anniversary of the start of Reagan’s film and television career, which began on Catalina Island in 1936, when Reagan did a screen test for Warner Brothers while in Southern California to cover Chicago Cubs spring training.

On April 15, 2011, Atlas Shrugged Part 1 was released by Atlas Productions, LLC in the USA and continues to play in more than 200 theaters nationwide.

Atlas Shrugged Takes it to Capitol Hill

Members of Congress gather in Sam Rayburn Building for Private Screening

Culver City, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 02, 2011 - Today on Capitol Hill, at 9:00 am (EST) sharp, “The Strike” Productions’ Harmon Kaslow hosted a private screening of the upcoming political drama ATLAS SHRUGGED PART I open exclusively to members of Congress and their staff.

“Even though Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged is more than 50 years old, the film is hauntingly relevant to what’s happening today.” says producer Harmon Kaslow.


“I can’t think of a more perfect venue than the Rayburn Building where its main entrance is guarded by two ten foot marble statutes symbolizing Spirit of Justice and Majesty of Law.” Continued Kaslow, “Given the current political climate, screening the movie right in the middle of where the U.S. House of Representatives operates brings the movie directly to the audience that needs to see it most - the U.S. Congress.”

The Strike is hosting a number of invitation only screenings of Atlas Shrugged prior to its theatrical release on April 15, 2011 in eleven US cities including a screening in D.C. later today and New York City on March 3, 2011.

ATLAS SHRUGGED PART I, a movie adapted from Part I of Ayn Rand’s epic novel "Atlas Shrugged", is scheduled to open in limited release in the USA on April 15, 2011. For more information, visit http://www.AtlasShruggedPart1.com.

Atlas Shrugged Movie Train Barrels into Washington D.C.

Atlas heads to the Hill amidst Wisconsin Teachers Union controversy and Libya’s internal meltdown.


Culver City, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 28, 2011 - “The Strike” Productions and The Atlas Society announced today they will be taking the ATLAS SHRUGGED film to the East Coast for two pre-release screenings - the first to be held in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, followed up by a Thursday showing in New York City.

“The Nation’s Capitol is where this film should be seen,” remarks film producer Harmon Kaslow. “There’s never been a more relevant time for the movie’s release. From Wisconsin’s teacher’s Union woes to Libya’s dictator’s demise, it’s as if current events were ripped right from the pages of the book.”

Kaslow adds, “We unveiled the trailer in DC two and half weeks ago and it received more than 750,000 views on YouTube. The interest in the film has been tremendous.”
“It’s been a fifty-three year journey to bring Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged to the silver screen,” remarks The Atlas Society founder David Kelley. “I saw the completed film in Los Angeles and found it to be true to the spirit and message of Rand’s novel as well as uncannily timely.”

The exclusive events will be held at:

Landmark E Street Theater
555 11th Street NW
Washington D.C. 20004
WHEN: 2 pm on Wednesday, March 2nd.

Tribeca Cinemas
54 Varick Street
New York City, NY 10013
WHEN: 6 pm on Thursday, March 3rd.

Fans of the book are encouraged to show up at both events as a limited number of seats will be reserved for “fans only.”
