James Cromwell Production ‘Mondo Hollywoodland’ Sets Release

EXCLUSIVE: Green Apple Entertainment has set a digital release for its recently acquired movie Mondo Hollywoodland from filmmaker Janek Ambros (Human Capital, Ten Thousand Saints) of Aug. 3 on Amazon, transactional VOD as well as a week’s run at Arena CineLounge in Hollywood.

Riffing on the title of the legendary X-rated 1967 documentary Mondo Hollywood by Robert Carl Cohen, Mondo Hollywoodland follows a mushroom dealer and a man from the 5th dimension as they look for all things groovy and the meaning of “mondo” in Los Angeles. Along the way, these two encounter the various factions of Hollywood as they all bumble through psychedelic-fueled introspection.
