Doc ‘Slice of Life: The American Dream. In Former Pizza Huts.’ Trailer

“When things continue to transform, beauty can come from it.” Urtext Films has revealed an official trailer for a fascinating documentary film titled Slice of Life: The American Dream. In Former Pizza Huts. Yes, that is the full title, with both sentences! This is premiering at the 2024 SXSW Sydney Film Festival as well as the Chicago International Film Festival this fall in the US. What is it about? It recalls the origins of Pizza Hut, created in 1958 by two brothers from Wichita, KS. But since the era of Pizza Hut is pretty much over (or is it?), the film is also an examination of what these old Pizza Hut buildings have become. “From an LGBTQ+ church in Florida, to a karaoke bar in Texas, to a cannabis dispensary in rural Colorado…” This new feature doc is the work of Matthew Salleh & Rose Tucker, an award-winning Australian-born, Brooklyn-based filmmaking duo whose previous films include Barbecue and We Don’t Deserve Dogs. Looks like a nice little film. This Mexican place seems very tasty – I’d like to stop by there & try some of their tacos sometime. // Continue Reading ›
