Andy Warhol: American Dream is the intimate story of Andy's family relationships, from his humble beginnings to his rise to superstardom; from breaking into the New York art scene, to conquering the world of fame and influencing art styles across many genres.

With cooperation from the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art in Slovakia and The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, this film offers a rare look at the world through the familial lens of one of the most influential pop artists of the 20th century. Unique insights are shared by Warhol's Slovakian relatives, including his cousin John Zavacky and nephews Donald Warhola, Vice President and board member of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and its Liaison to The Andy Warhol Museum, and successful artist James Warhola. Also featured are Elton John, author, art and cultural historian and curator Steven Watson, Martin Cubjak, Michael Bycko, and many others.
Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films says, "This film shines a new light on the complicated and often misunderstood life of Andy Warhol. From his humble, religious, and immigrant beginnings to one of the most revered and brilliant minds of our time."
Writer/Producer Petra Babic Slivkova adds, "Andy Warhol: American Dream uncovers the man behind the icon—an artist whose influence reshaped contemporary culture, and whose life continues to inspire fascination across generations. By grounding the narrative in authenticity and proximity, the film invites audiences to rediscover Warhol not as a distant legend, but as a human being shaped by his origins, relationships, and inner contradictions. This is not just another story about Andy Warhol. It is the closest we have ever come to truly knowing him."
Monique White of California Pictures shares, "Andy Warhol came from poor immigrant parents but with big dreams - proof that even the most simple beginnings can give rise to extraordinary vision, if you dare to see the world differently."
