“Winnebago Man” is a documentary by Ben Steinbauer about Jack Rebney, a Winnebago salesman made famous by his hilarious, foul-mouthed outbursts recorded in 1988 that were circulated on VHS during the 1990’s, then exploded on the internet in 2005. The film comes out in theaters on July 9th.
Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer goes in search of Rebney — and finds him living alone on a mountain top, unaware of his fame. WINNEBAGO MAN is a laugh-out-loud look at viral culture and an unexpectedly poignant tale of one man’s response to unintended celebrity.
