;;WINNER, Undiscovered Gems Sundance Channel Audience Award
Set in a stylized yet familiar landscape of Americana, Munros whimsical cautionary tale follows Alby Cutrera, a 35-year-old husband and father who longs for the days of his carefree boyhood when his only occupation was playing with his action figures. Desperate to escape the confines of adulthood and return to his halcyon days, Alby tracks down his childhood whipping boy Elias, and persuades him to take a road trip to Diggityland their favorite
childhood theme park. As the dynamic duo motor along Floridas tatty Orange Blossom Highway, they encounter a cast of tragicomic creatures, including an AWOL ex-theme park employee turned commando hitchhiker (Alan Cumming),
an oversexed bartending clown-in-training (Amy Sedaris), and a trailer-dwelling delusional mermaid (Deborah Harry). Calamity and mayhem ensue as Alby and Elias sentimental trip down memory lane becomes an unsolicited lesson in the
perils of living in the past.
