After two years of filming and editing, the result was "Anytown, USA," a movie that has been getting rave reviews at movie festivals around the country.
Critics have been complimentary of the movie, which features the 2003 mayoral election between three candidates, the legally-blind incumbent (Lonegan), the old-school Democrat (Fred Pesce) and an independent write-in candidate (Dave Musikant), who entered the race because Lonegan decided to eliminate athletics at the high school as a cost-cutting procedure.
"Anytown, USA" is playing at the Cine Plaza 12 on 69th Street and Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen through Jan. 19.
