The Pez Outlaw

Amy Bandlien Storkel, Bryan Storkel, USA 2022, 87’
Polish premiere
Riotsville, USA

When the world’s most notorious smuggler of collectible PEZ dispensers rebels against corporate greed millions are at stake in this stunning documentary that spans two continents.

Thus is told the tale of the Pez Outlaw, Amy Bandlien Storkel and Bryan Storkel’s wry, genre-bending, highly entertaining look at a fascinating subculture. Steve Glew is the glue that holds the narrative together, one strung from recreations acted out by the individuals themselves, detailing dastardly deeds that helped upend an international market and made for more than a few to both gain and lose a fortune.
