About This Movie

State of Bacon is this quirky blend of documentary and comedy that captures the absurdity around the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. Jason Cook's direction gives it a playful tone, filled with offbeat characters and their odd interactions. You've got everyone from bacon lovers to the Governor and even a PETA representative, all colliding in this bacon-centric universe. The pacing is a bit loose, but that adds to the charm, allowing the humor and the bizarre scenarios to unfold naturally. The practical effects are minimal but effective, focusing more on the characters' eccentricities and their love for bacon. The ensemble cast, with their exaggerated personas, really brings the film to life, making it a delightful watch for fans of offbeat humor and food culture.

Released in 2014, runtime of 75 minutesShot on location in Iowa during the festivalMix of real events and scripted anticsIncludes appearances by Hacksaw Jim Duggan
