To millions of YouTube viewers, Winnebago Man needs no introduction. He's Jack Rebney, "Angriest Man in the World," whose epic frustrations filming a 1989 industrial RV commercial were mashed-up into a hilarious symphony of enraged profanity. Originally a VHS-era blooper-reel staple, "Winnebago Man" became the internet's original viral video. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer wondered whatever happened to Rebney. How did becoming the unwitting butt of cyber-age ridicule and office-cubicle catharsis affect him? When Steinbauer finally tracks down Rebney—still a cantankerous, freely cursing old man—hiding hermit-like on a California mountaintop, an examination of shame, self-respect and YouTube infamy turns into its own compelling drama of redemption. At one point, someone asks Rebney the question in all our guilty, complicit hearts: "Do you hate us?" His response captures the knotted intersection of comedy and tragedy, humiliation and fellowship. Rebney is us, after all, and he is very much loved. West Coast Premiere. —Jeff Campbell
