Dumbstruck plot
"say hello to my little friends"
The annual Vent Haven convention in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky is Valhalla for fans of ventriloquism. Filmmaker Mark Goffman portrays five people obsessed with ventriloquism: Dylan, a shy thirteen-year-old, who dreams of becoming a professional but whose father prefers football; Kim, former Miss Ohio, who wants to make it on a cruise ship; Dan, a successful ventriloquist on a cruise ship whose wife is divorcing him when he returns to land; Terry, who, after 22 years of trying, sees himself on NBC's 'America's Got Talent' a shot at winning the million dollars; and Wilma, who is trying to grow in popularity at the Wallmart and retirement homes.
