New Film Explores ‘Washington’s Wildest Week’

WASHINGTON — Once a year, Washington parties like it’s Hollywood. Now this annual shindig, the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, is the subject of a new documentary. “Nerd Prom: Inside Washington’s Wildest Week” will be released April 10, a few weeks ahead of the correspondents dinner. The film was written and directed by Patrick Gavin, who quit his reporting job at Politico last year to make the documentary.

“This is a town built on lofty ideals. But if this is the single biggest moment of the year, what does that say about us?” “Nerd Prom: Inside Washington’s Wildest Week” can be pre-ordered now and will begin a limited theatrical release in April. It will also be distributed through online pay-per-view and subscription-based services.
