Legend of MexMan 12/25 Blu-ray (Rental)

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Working out of an abandoned hangar at a small regional airport in East Los Angeles, Germán Alonso surrounds himself in a Gilliam-esque fantasy world, expressing his vision the only way he knows how: making phantasmagorical films with help from his friends, family and hundreds of handmade puppets. But when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes along to adapt a feature-length version of his college thesis film, about a Mexican immigrant-turned-cyborg named “MexMan” — Alonso’s own superpowers begin to strain, as creative conflicts emerge with his producers and an old crush reappears. Welcome to THE LEGEND OF MEXMAN, the (almost) unbelievable outsider-turned-hero tale that Film Threat calls “One of the great stand-up-and-cheer underdog sagas of all time.” Bonus Features: 1. Audio commentary with Director Josh Polon and Germán Alonso moderated by Dekanalog’s Elijah Drenner 2. Deleted Scenes 3. A Selection of Short Films by Germán Alonso 4.
