The Pez Outlaw

Documentary


 

Steve Glew made a business out of selling Pez dispensers as collectibles, amassing a fortune in the 1990s until the 'Pezident' noticed what he was doing.

Re-enactments of this real-life story bring "The Pez Outlaw" to life as a stranger than fiction tale, and an all but victimless escapade. The world of collectors is fallow ground for some quirky material, the field is populated by such entertaining characters. The filmmaker steps into the world of Pez collectors and Pez dispensers with a light touch, deftly managing to showcase the industry as one of intrigue and millions of dollars at stake. I want candy.
