A team of filmmakers from Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire bring life into Illegal Use of Joe Zopp, a boisterous, foul-mouthed comedy. The convoluted plot involves young Zopp getting fed up with his parents, quitting town, then meeting a high-school classmate who reveals that in the five years since he left, everyone thinks he’s dead. Really. Funeral and everything. Zopp can’t resist going home to Plainwater to find out what really happened. Laced with racy jokes, sight gags, and just plain goofiness, Zopp shows off the skills of a huge number of contributors to this film.
Filmmakers Nick Holle, Seth Hedrington, and Paul Hogseth scheduled to attend.
