THE STORY OF A.I.P 2001

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280780/
A 60-minute salute to American International Pictures. Entertainment
lawyer Samuel Z. Arkoff founded AIP (then called American Releasing
Corporation) on a $3000 loan in 1954 with his partner, James H.
Nicholson, a former West Coast exhibitor and distributor. The company
made its mark by targeting teenagers with quickly produced films that
exploited subjects mainstream films were reluctant to tackle. From
monsters to beach parties to cycle gangs to the psychedelic youth, many
film clips are shown, highlighting the company's successful twenty-five
year run in Hollywood. Interviewees include Arkoff, Nicholson (archive
footage), Peter Bogdanovich, Bob Burns, Herman Cohen, Roger Corman,
Dick Dale, Joe Dante, David Del Valle, Bruce Dern, Roger Ebert, Beverly
Garland, Pam Grier, Susan Hart, James L. Honore, Al Kallis, Aron
Kincaid, Mark Thomas McGee, Dick Miller, and Burt Topper.
