The Filmmakers

Documentary Host / Producer

Chris Skeene

Chris Skeene was born in Irving, TX, and grew up in Lakeland, FL. Chris is a recent graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Photography. His photographic interests lie mainly in fine art and concert photography, and he displays his portfolio at www.chrisskeenephotography.com.

Chris has been collecting PEZ® since 2002. He started out buying them as gifts for his wife’s modest collection (she had 7 of them when they met), but his interest grew quickly, and before long Chris was organizing the growing collection, building shelves for them, and keeping track of which dispensers they were missing out of individual sets. Before long they were bidding on eBay auctions and keeping a database of their collection, and Chris became involved in the online PEZ communities. Now the collection has topped 900 dispensers, and they no longer consider it to be his wife’s collection, so much as it is both of theirs. (Although Chris is responsible for its organization, upkeep, and new purchases). Chris keeps his collection organized via a database, available to view online.

Director

Chris Marshall

Born and raised in Clinton, SC, Chris received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design. He began his film career working as a production assistant in New York on films such as Swimfan and 13 Going on 30. He has since written and directed dozens of short film and video projects and recently co-produced the indie feature film, "Actually, Adieu My Love." "PEZheads - The Movie," his first feature-length directorial effort, illustrates his love for quirky subject matter and character-based stories. See more at www.christopherpmarshall.com.

Chris Marshall only had one PEZ® dispenser (Yoda) when he started this documentary project. Since then his collection has grown, but he is still fighting the urge to develop a full-fledged collection.
