The Pez Outlaw
Some hobbies are more dangerous than others.
Directed by Amy Bandlien Storkel, Bryan Storkel
Produced by Sidestilt Films, Library Films
A quirky true-crime documentary about an ordinary man's obsessive quest to find rare Pez dispensers, blending humor, desperation, and the absurdity of collecting culture.
Steve Glew, a small-town Michigan farmer, boards a plane for Eastern Europe soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall. His mission is to locate a secret factory that holds the key to the most desired and valuable pez dispensers. If he succeeds, he will pull his family out of poverty and finally find a purpose in his mundane life.
