Made In China

Filmmaker Judi Krant and co-writer Dan Sumpter present “a droll, superb comedy” (The Hollywood Reporter) about a starry-eyed novelty item inventor. Johnson (Jackson Keuhn) travels from rural Texas to bustling Shanghai in search of a manufacturer for his closely guarded golden idea — described as “a humorous domestic hygiene product.” He’s got money from venture capitalists and a Chinese business consultant he found on Craigslist. What could possibly go wrong? Largely shot guerilla style on location in China. Grand Jury Prize winner at SXSW. (2009)
