| | | | | | | | One day, Jack Rebney was working on a corporate video promoting the eponymous American touring vehicle; the Winnebago. Through the following decade, his outtakes become the stuff of legend becoming a phenomenon in the early days of YouTube.
Because of this exposure Rebney became a Salinger-like recluse because of his instant fame. The location and sight of Rebney becames the dream goal of filmmaker Ben Steinbauer.
Winnebago Man quickly starts with the discovery of Jack and everything that follows becomes an entertaining and hilarious rollercoaster ride of bluff and double bluff between filmmaker and subject. The irascible Jack is as angry as his outtakes suggest, a constant performer andconspiracy activist, a challenging friend to the filmmaker and a supposed enemy to the fan. Where will their explosive series of meetings end?
“Winnegabo Man is one of the funniest documentaries ever made.” MICHAEL MOORE
