STF: Winnebago Man

IRISH PREMIERE
Jack Rebney, a.k.a. ‘the angriest man in the world’, has delighted and fascinated millions of viewers with the hilariously foul-mouthed and ill-tempered outtakes from a recreational vehicle sales video he made in 1989 – one of the first and best underground videos to be passed hand-to-hand on VHS tapes, before the Internet turned him into a full-blown phenomenon. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer takes on the task of tracking down Rebney, and his journey turns into a fascinating exploration of viral video culture, and what it means on a personal level to its sometimes unwilling subjects. When he finally tracks down Rebney, the real man is more savvy, weird, and cool than you could have possibly imagined. Winnebago Man is an intelligent, hilarious and unexpectedly poignant look at one man’s response to Internet notoriety.
