This documentary is about Ben Steinbauer's search for and encounter with Jack Rebney, a man familiar to the millions of people who have viewed "Winnebago Man" on YouTube. The YouTube footage comes from an industrial video for recreational vehicles that Rebney shot back in the late 1980s. He swears a lot in the video, and it is hilarious. Steinbauer tracks down Rebney when he is in his mid-70s and living in a remote part of northern California. The former RV pitchman turns out to be a curmudgeonly old guy, but it all ends up at the Found Footage Festival in San Francisco.More »'Ramona and Beezus' DVD
