The Achievers - Big Lebowski Festival Documentary
 Best Dressed Contest, Trivia and Games
From the producers of DOGTOWN & Z-BOYS and RIDING GIANTS comes the
long-awaited documentary of Joel and Ethan Coen's THE BIG LEBOWSKI, the
first cult film of the digital age.
While vending at a tatoo convention in 2002, Will Russell and Scott Shuffitt
began quoting lines from THE BIG LEBOWSKI and felt an instant bond with
others who quoted back; in a matter of seconds the idea of a festival began.
"The concept was simple: gather fans in a bowling alley and let them loose
to bowl, drink White Russians, dress in costume and watch the movie
together."
The documentary chronicles the first festival and how this one day event
became an international phenomenon attracting thousands and selling out
venues from Louisville to London. Director Eddie Chung takes a five year
look at the festival and its attendees, known as Achievers, a name which is
self applied, chronicling the development of lifelong friendships and
extraordinary behavior at the festival, which in itself has become a show.
Told through a compelling combination of interviews, festival footage and
clips from THE BIG LEBOWSKI, THE ACHIEVERS: THE STORY OF THE LEBOWSKI FANS
is an engrossing and hilarious documentary film.
