50 years ago Jack & Betty were hit by a train and survived. This is their story.
This unforgettable underdog story follows the adventures of Steve Glew, a small-town Michigan man who embarks on a risky and lucrative venture: smuggling rare Pez dispensers into the United States by the thousands and making millions in the process. Will he finally be able to pull his family out of debt and quit his miserable job of 25 years? Not if his arch-nemesis “The Pezident” has anything to say about it!
THE PEZ OUTLAW is the genre-bending, stranger-than-fiction documentary you never knew you needed in your life. Expertly directed by Amy Bandlien Storkel and Bryan Storkel, this doc is filled to the brim with colourful characters and dripping with effortless charm, including Glew playing himself in stylized reenactments of his escapades. If you’re looking for 85 minutes of pure, unbridled joy, you won’t want to miss this one!
“Inspiring and uplifting in equal amounts, Harvey and Kummer’s fangs-and-all documentary is, like its subject, one of a kind.”
“By the triumphant curtain call, as young Scott trots onstage for a very professional bow in full Xenomorph garb, it’s clear “Alien on Stage” has completely captured the hearts of the audience – film, theater, and Christopher Guest lovers alike.”
