Chicago-based writer and director Andrew Marcus is a graduate of the film school at the Art Institute of Chicago. Marcus began his career documenting protests. In 2009, while documenting the growing Tea Party movement, he decided to craft a documentary around the New Media icon Andrew Breitbart after seeing him address a crowd in Illinois.
