But while gathering material for a segment on the show\, Steve stumbled onto a few vintage record albums that would change his life forever. Bizarre cast recordings marked “internal use only” revealed full-throated Broadway-style musical shows about some of the most recognizable corporations in America: General Electric\, McDonald’s\, Ford\, DuPont\, Xerox. Steve didn’t know much about musical theater\, but these recordings delighted him in a way that nothing ever had. While tracking down rare albums\, unseen footage\, composers and performers\, Steve forms unlikely friendships and discovers that this discarded musical genre starring tractors and bathtubs was bigger than Broadway. \n  \nAwards: 10 Wins\, 10 Nominations\n \nWinner\, SummerDocs Audience Award\, Hamptons International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Humour & Humanity Award\, Heartland International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Award\, Nantucket Film Festival\, 2018\nNominee\, Top 20 Audience Favourites\, Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Albert Maysles New Documentary Director Award\, Tribeca Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Most Popular International Documentary Film\, Vancouver International Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Exuberance in Documentary Filmmaking\, Traverse City Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Honorable Mention\, Gibson Music Films/Music City Corporation\, Nashville Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Audience Choice Award\, Sidewalk Film Festival\, Birmingham\, Alabama\, 2018\nNominated\, Audience Award/Outstanding Achievement in Graphic Design or Animation\, Cinema Eye Honours Awards\, US\, 2019 \n  \n\n  \nSponsored By:
