 I was able to preview this documentary and could totally relate to the situation of the filmmaker who had good intentions of helping the elderly Minnesota chef and his story of how popular his onion ring recipe was but was all in and got in over his head in the production of the film which took a turn in a whole other direction.   I can also relate to the filmmaker dealing with the subject as I have had to deal with something similar in my life.  This film turns into much more than the story of a plate of Onion Rings.
You will want the onion rings and you will get invested in the life of the filmmaker and subject at the same time.


SYNOPSIS

Upon his grandfather’s death, a recovering gambling addict (ZACHARY CAPP) used his inheritance to make a documentary about well-known onion rings from his childhood and the beloved Minnesotan chef (LARRY LANG) who makes them. His project changes drastically when the fledging filmmaker becomes hellbent on improving the humble fry cook’s life, despite discovering his subject wants nothing to do with the film. The movie becomes something else entirely when the crew members secretly turn the cameras on the filmmaker, documenting his efforts and failures over a three-year journey.
