THE EXPERIENCE

No, that’s not Jeremy Allen White in the 70’s, it’s Gene Wilder!

Discover the comedy genius and wicked talent of beloved actor Gene Wilder with this new documentary. Portland comedianne Clancy Kramer will introduce the film with a short comedy set.

ON SCREEN: Remembering Gene Wilder

2023. Directed by Ron Frank. Runtime: 92 minutes. Not Rated.

This loving tribute to Gene Wilder celebrates his life and legacy as the comic genius behind an extraordinary string of film roles, from his first collaboration with Mel Brooks in The Producers, to the enigmatic title role in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, to his inspired on-screen partnership with Richard Pryor in movies like Silver Streak.

This film is illustrated by a bevy of touching and hilarious clips and outtakes, never-before-seen home movies, narration from Wilder’s audiobook memoir, and interviews with a roster of brilliant friends and collaborators like Mel Brooks, Alan Alda, and Carol Kane. Remembering Gene Wilder shines a light on an essential performer, writer, director, and all-around mensch.
