Bill’s mother Mary, brother Steve and sister Lynn will be attending the premiere of American:The Bill Hicks Story at the London Film Festival on October 23, 2009.

“We are very excited to be joining Matt and Paul in London; the effort and hours they have put into this project are truly amazing.  We have gotten to know these guys over the last 3+ years and we’re proud to call them friends.  We hope to see some of Bill’s fans and share this event with them.  It has been a long time coming and we’d like to thank Matt and Paul for all they have done to keep Bill’s legacy alive. Thanks-see you soon.”

  1. Bill Was A Legend And Has Inpired Me And Others To A Better , Pure and Stronger Life . He Is A Light In The Darkness.

  2. Beautifully said MWalker, I couldn’t have put it better myself. I cant wait for this. Thankyou so much for making this movie guys!!

  3. I echo that! My six year old daughter will be getting it then too! I really hope many many people get to see this.. well done all associated with this film, I loved it, very apt for the apathetic age we live in. Many future Bill Hicks fans will be born from this!

  4. Wow I haven’t had a film experience like this for ages. I feel like a 16 year old who has discovered their first role model/hero!
    Last night I watched Matt & Paul’s film at the LFF and was introduced to the inimitable Bill Hicks in the most wonderfully creative, insightful, loving and thrilling way.
    I laughed, I cried, I joined the facebook site.
    My four year old son will be receiving this DVD for his 13th birthday!
    Great work.

  5. Really nice thoughts MWalker – lets hope that scruffy confused kid gets to hear about him, he sounds promising.

  6. I really hope the legacy of Bill’s work and deeper message will return again and again to our society . .till at least people start to wake up again, he often refered to the use of certain chemicals that may help us to evolve and explore the possibilities of a better world . .in the end what is left ?? the best drug of all, Love Laughter and Truth and of course a life-long supply of extra strength Bill pills . .he may be gone in person, but its a comforting thought to know that even when we are all dust and bones . .Bill will still be shouting, ranting, teaching, exploring and talking to that scruffy confused kid somewhere in the future. .enlightening and helping people to think for themselves . .move over Jesus . .theres a new kid in town !!
    Best wishes to all who who’ve made this film happen . .

  7. Wish I could be there!
    Will patiently wait to see the film.
    Have a grand time!
