Kinky Friedman may not win the governor’s race on Nov. 7, but if you thought his quotable roadshow would be forever silenced then, think again.
Win or lose, Friedman has a contract for a documentary on his campaign, which explains why a camera crew has been following him around.
The Los Angeles producers are Wayne Miller and David Steinberg, the comedian/director of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm fame. . .
The project apparently grew out of earlier pilot episodes the same two producers shot of Friedman’s campaign for a Go Kinky reality show that didn’t get picked up on CMT, the country music network. . .
Miller said the documentary was his idea. He said he used to produce political commercials for television but never has shot a documentary on a governor’s race.
He said he has known Friedman for years and appreciates his talent.
“The reason for doing (the movie) is that it’s a tremendous story, and it has a real place in history,” the producer said, indicating he may try to sell the project to the big screen as well as TV networks.
