Made In China

How far would you go to get your invention made? Winner of the 2009 SXSW Grand Jury Prize - Filmed under the radar in Shanghai, China and loud and proud in Woodville, Texas, MADE IN CHINA is the inventive and entertaining story of a young man's quest for fame and fortune... Self-styled 'Novelty Inventor' Johnson has a great idea. He's sitting on the next big novelty craze, but no one in his home town will believe him. Even his mom. Perhaps it's because he won't tell anyone exactly what it is... Armed with his hard-earned savings and a manufacturing contact found on 'craigslist', Johnson decides he's going to the place where they make everything. Where the Stuff comes from. China. But when his craigslist contact flakes on him, Johnson is alone in Shanghai. He's forced to think fast before his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity evaporates. How exactly does someone get something 'Made In China'? It's the story of a young man's quest to make his dream come true.
