A contemporary portrait of America, told through a collection of stories observed within the walls of former Pizza Hut buildings across the country. These nostalgic spaces hold memories of a bygone era, but through the power of transformation, they provide something new and special for the communities that continue to flow through them.
From an LGBTQ+ church in Florida, to a karaoke bar in Texas, to a cannabis dispensary in rural Colorado, these modern-day portraits are paralleled with the origin story of Pizza Hut – one of America’s most iconic brands, and the two brothers who founded the company in Wichita, Kansas in 1958.
This new feature documentary is the work of Matthew Salleh & Rose Tucker, an award-winning Australian-born, Brooklyn-based filmmaking duo whose previous films include Barbecue and We Don’t Deserve Dogs.
“Quirky, unapologetically hopeful, and one of the best documentaries of 2024.”
– Adam Freed, Movie Archer
“An anthology of resilience and renewal of communities
who can find new homes and a place to gather.”
– Zachary Lee, RogerEbert.com
