The highly anticipated theatrical release of for the new Urtext Films documentary starts this Thursday November 7.
SLICE OF LIFE: THE AMERICAN DREAM. IN FORMER PIZZA HUTS. was a hit last month with premiere screenings at SXSW Sydney and Chicago International Film Festival, and will be in cinemas for an exclusive limited Australian release at Dendy and Wallis Cinemas.
A contemporary portrait of America, SLICE OF LIFE is told through a collection of stories observed within the walls of former Pizza Hut buildings across the country. These nostalgic spaces hold memories of a bygone era, but through the power of transformation, they provide something new and special for the communities that continue to flow through them. From an LGBTQ+ church in Florida, to a karaoke bar in Texas, to a cannabis dispensary in rural Colorado, these modern-day portraits are paralleled with the origin story of Pizza Hut – one of America’s most iconic brands – and the two brothers who founded the company in Wichita, Kansas in 1958.
