big and f.a.s.t. at trylon

Tonight you can catch the premiere of Big and F.A.S.T. screening at Trylon.  This 30-min documentary follows Coco Mault's exploration into the world of giant roadside attractions:

The film explores the far-reaching effects of giant roadside attractions as well as their evolution into “objects that do something” as opposed to simply being statues. In the film, Jerry Vettrus, sculptor and former owner of F.A.S.T. Corporation, as well as current general manager Darren Schauf, bring viewers through the process of making a roadside giant -- from a blob of formless insulation to a shiny, fiberglass masterpiece that can easily withstand the toughest year-round conditions in the Midwest. 

The movie starts at 7pm.  View the trailer here.  Only 8 tickets remain so buy them online now before you're turned away at the door without a ticket.
