Filmed over a decade, the movie aims to answer the question: Who is Tony Millionaire? It\u2019s the story of a loud giant of a man, chasing people around with his false teeth, performing drunk on stage, and being the worst party guest; the guy who did that thing last weekend that everyone was talking about. He is also the artist behind Maakies, a weekly comic strip featuring a drunk bird (Drinky Crow) and a foul-mouthed sailor monkey (Uncle Gabby).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he also makes beautifully rendered drawings in pen and ink (many of his portraits were seen in The Believer), colorful and sweet children\u2019s books about a Sock Monkey in a Victorian house, and was a devoted father to his daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through contrasts and contradictions, the film is a story about a man, an artist, a boyfriend, a father, a performer, a searcher. It\u2019s a story about telling stories, and the revelation that life is also a performance. The film may raise more questions than it answers. The documentary is a love song sung by a ribald chorus of drunk sailors at a cartoonists\u2019 bar. It\u2019s raunchy, lewd, profane and raw in its honesty, but also sweet, sensitive and touching. Fast paced with hundreds of edits, it\u2019s captures the art and person of Tony Millionaire himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring interviews with over 50 cartoonists, artists, editors, and musician, including Renee French, Johnny Ryan, James Urbaniak, Jon Sarkin, and Kaz. You can view the trailer here<\/a>. Runtime: 99 minutes, 16:9, English with closed caption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
