CARNY TALK

CARNY TALK
AND OTHER AMUSING ANECDOTES BY ROBERT WILLIAMS
AS TOLD TO LARRY WESSEL
Produced and Directed by Larry Wessel

Robert Williams, The King of Lowbrow Art tells us about the hidden history of 1950's America: Sideshow Freaks, Benzedrine, Hot Rods and Motorcycles, Lesbians, Mortuary Parties, Scuzzy Women, Clyde Rollins and The Barrel of Death, Hospital Still Borns, The Great Fecal Matter, and much, much more!

"It's really a very intimate film, up close and personal in a way filmed interviews almost never are. If his paintings reach you, certainly his humor will too. Carny Talk is an essential piece of survival equipment!"
-- Chris Pfouts,
INTERNATIONAL TATTOO ART

"Overflowing with cool anecdotes, Carny Talk offers up a glimpse into late '50s delinquency. It's also particularly recommended if you're a fan of Williams' artwork, since this profile gives you an idea of the early incidents which became a foundation for his later creations. And in a refreshing change of pace from most current indie filmmakers, who put their own (usually underbaked) attitude at the forefront, Wessel prefers to find fascinating subjects and gives them the spotlight. It's a generous approach, and in this instance, it works to perfection!"
