ENTER the world of an authentic 1920s sideshow.
FREAKY CIRCUS GUY is a feature documentary that allows audiences to pass through the canvass threshold into the wickedly weird world of sword swallowing, fire breathing, bullwhip cracking and the burlesque arts.
Collector Ken Harck is an eccentric – and obsessed – circus enthusiast who has amassed one of the world's largest collections of vibrant circus posters from the 1920s and 30s. The documentary follows Harck as he takes his passion to the extreme and launches his Brother's Grim Sideshow on a stormy pier on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ.
Fires of the imagination are ignited by the wondrous artistry of sideshow performers like The Enigma, Katzen the Tiger Lady, Danielle De Meux and William Darke.
It's the ONLY place in film to walk into a wondrously strange world of gypsies, freaks and glamazon women. Click here to watch a preview of the FREAKY CIRCUS GUY documentary.
