We had an incredible opening weekend, with packed screenings and celebrity presenters. Michael Moore and Jeff Garlin introduced the 7:30 premiere on Friday. And Jack Rebney spent the weekend in New York City for the first time since 1956, and said, “Forget the noise and the potholes, the people of New York City are five stars.”

On Saturday night, comic and SXSW favorite Eugene Mirman introduced the film, and afterwards tweeted  ‘I just met the Winnebago Man … Everyone should see the documentary about him.’

WINNEBAGO MAN is opening in Los Angeles this Friday July 16th … at the Laemmle Sunset 5, Encino Town Center 5, and Pasadena Playhouse 7.  Tell your friends!

Jack has a lot of fans in the film & tv production community and we’re very excited that Jack will be appearing at select  screenings at the Laemmle Sunset 5 on Friday July 16 & Saturday July 17.

Stay tuned for details at the film’s website and on Twitter.

“Madly entertaining” – NEW YORK MAGAZINE (Critics’ Pick!)

WINNEBAGO MAN (2010)
Jack Rebney is the most famous man you’ve never heard of – an RV salesman whose hilarious, foul-mouthed outbursts circulated on VHS tapes in the 90s before turning into a full-blown Internet phenomenon in 2005, seen by 20 million people worldwide. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer goes in search of Rebney – and finds him living alone on a mountain top, unaware of his fame. WINNEBAGO MAN is a laugh-out-loud look at viral culture and an unexpectedly poignant tale of one man’s response to unintended celebrity.

“An intriguing meditation on character, celebrity, and the filmmaking process itself.” – THE NEW YORKER
