Our evening with the Found Footage Festival continues with this 2022 documentary about the duo’s legally controversial comic exploits, including an introduction and post-screening Q&A with its subjects.

Childhood friends turned professional comedians Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett book their gag-strongman routine on unsuspecting morning news shows. When their pranks go viral, they land in federal court with a vengeful media conglomerate. The stress of the lawsuit and pressure to continue their pranks threaten their livelihood and tests their lifelong friendship.

“Chop & Steele plays like one act of artistic defiance after another in celebration of Pickett and Prueher’s love of obscure content, much of which was never cleared for public consumption.” – The Film Stage

Note: This documentary screening will be presented as the second half of a double bill event also featuring the duo’s live Found Footage Festival 20th Anniversary Show.
