In this joyous and heartfelt documentary, filmmakers Kate Davis (SOUTHERN COMFORT) and David Heilbroner investigate the fascinating subculture of world champion whistlers. Mixing archive film clips with footage shot at the 31st Annual National Whistling Competition, Pucker Up profiles serious and passionate practitioners of a musical pastime that some now consider a dying art. “Combines the esoteric-competition aspect of Spellbound with an anthropological history of an inherently joyous pastime” – Austin American-Statesman.
