RISE AND FALL OF THE GRUMPY BURGER, THE
The Rise and Fall of the Grumpy Burger follows obsessive filmmaker Marshall Sfalcin as he attempts to make a movie about his family and their once-legendary fast-food empire.
By day, Marshall -- a reluctant construction worker -- lays ceramic tiles in the kitchens and bathrooms of the citizens of Windsor, Ontario. But, by night, he escapes the monotony of his blue-collar life by making movies.
When it comes to making films, Marshall does everything himself: he raises the money, casts his friends and family, and shoots and edits on the cheap and dirty. This guy is resourceful and driven like no one else.
And now he’s poised to take on his greatest challenge yet: making his first “legitimate” film. Marshall has decided to produce, direct and star in a no-budget, dramatic feature about the rise and fall of his family’s fast-food empire – a chain of hamburger joints known affectionately throughout the Windsor area as the Hi Ho Restaurants.
