This four year labor of love was produced by my good friend Smee who is also a friend of TC. This feature-length documentary is based on the artwork of SHAG, his legion of fans and its meaning in modern-day art. The movie contains interviews with SHAG, Whoopi Goldberg, Patton Oswalt, Paul Frank and many others. There is also great footage of the Sophisticated Misfit Show, Mondo Tiki in Vegas and other events with comments from Bamboo Ben, Crazy Al and Holden W. Tickets for the premiere are available through the Newport Beach Film Festival website at http://www.newportbeachfilmfest.com. For more info please see the following websites: http://www.smee.tv (movie trailer) http://newportbeach.bside.com/?_view=_filmdetails&filmId=16702168 http://events.ocregister.com/events/show/1035143-Newport-Beach-Film-Festival-The-Sophisticated-Misfit Congrats to Smee on the debut of his first movie at Newport!

Oh My ! That's questionable. He was interviewed behind one of his Tiki Bars, so you only see him from the waist up. :wink: Just a head's up -- there's only one showing of this documentary in a 207 seat theatre, so you'll want to get your tickets asap before it sells out.

Smee has been pretty busy updating the film for the festival with the Whoopie Goldberg segment but the DVD should be available sometime in early summer. SHAG is working on the cover art now and we hope to have a poster ready for the event this Thursday.

Smee would like to do it for the DVD but it will be up to SHAG and his people. Here's a sneak peak of the artwork. Pretty cool.
