Doc Filmmaker Errol Morris’ great Short about ‘El Wingador’ a pro chicken wing eater. 15 pounds of tootsie rolls a day for training–respect.

From an interview with Errol Morris in the New York Times:

“A bit of  background about how I came to make this short film.  I had been hired by the ad agency Draftfcb/Chicago to shoot a campaign for KFC’s new grilled chicken, or KGC.  KFC vs. KGC.  For a 30-second spot on the grilled hot wings, I cast El Wingador.  On the spur of the moment, I decided to shoot a little extra.  This film grew out of that shoot.  The ad campaign proved so successful that I became the first non-KFC employee to be given the coveted Breakout Bucket Award.”
