Lawrence Woolsey presents the end of civilization as we know it. Make that... Proudly Presents!

ComedyDrama

A showman introduces a small coastal town to a unique movie experience and capitalizes on the Cuban Missile crisis hysteria with a kitschy horror extravaganza combining film effects, stage props and actors in rubber suits in this salute to the B-movie.

VIBE

A sun-drenched, nostalgic trip back to 1960s Florida. It's a charming, campy celebration of B-movies and small-town charm, tinged with the era's Cold War anxieties. Perfect for a relaxed, feel-good watch.
