Burning Annie is an American independent comedy film starring Gary Lundy, Sara Downing, Kim Murphy, Brian Klugman, Jay Paulson, Rini Bell, Todd Duffey, and Kathleen Rose Perkins. It is the directorial debut of Van Flesher. The film is produced by Randy Mack of Armak Productions and was initially distributed by Warner Bros. and Lightyear Entertainment.
A dysfunctional romantic comedy about Max, a college student in 1997 who's obsessed with Woody Allen's film Annie Hall. He believes the film holds all the answers to life, including the futility of romance. His world is then turned upside down by Julie, a young woman who might be the modern day equivalent of Annie Hall herself.
After premiering at the Hamptons International Film Festival in 2003, the film did 3 years, 22 appearances, and 6 awards on the film festival circuit, playing as a work-in-progress. It had several false starts with distribution and was ultimately acquired by LightYear Entertainment. Theatrical run began February 7, 2007 at the Two Boots/Pioneer Theater in East Village, Manhattan, New York City. Release on DVD and limited VOD by Warner Bros Home Video was on March 20, 2007. Rights to the film have reverted to the filmmakers, who are planning a ten-year anniversary re-release in 2017. No sequel is currently planned.
