Filmmaker Harris first met Groovin’ Gary in the parking lot of Channel 2 in Salt Lake City, Utah over forty years ago and captured Groovin' Gary's myriad impersonations (Oliva Newton-John, Barry Manilow, Sylvester Stallone as Rocky), his red velvet interior ‘64 Chevy, and his elation at the chance to be “on the tube.”

Weeks later, Trent’s fascination develops further on a trip to Groovin’ Gary’s hometown of Beaver, Utah, for a community talent show and an unforgettable performance of Groovin' Gary as Olivia Newton-Dawn.

As part of The Beaver Trilogy, the original encounter is subsequently reenacted and reinterpeted with two up-and-coming, before-they-got-famous actors:  Crispin Glover (The Orkly Kid - 1985) and Sean Penn (The Beaver Kid #2 - 1981).
 

 

 

“For a decade, Joan and Julie Kessler have been singing for audiences throughout Beaver County and the State  and they are accompanied by their mother who is a great service to the Beaver community, who helps many people sing, and accompanies them as they do so. Joan and Julie Kessler who are a sophomore and junior at Beaver High School will now sing the Happiest Girl in the Whole USA.”

Good morning, mornin', hello sunshine
Wake up, sleepy head
Why'd you move that bojangle clock
So far away from the bed?
Just one more minute that's why we moved it
One more hug or two
Do you love wakin' up next to me
As much as I love wakin' up next to you?

 

Filmmaker Trent Harris remains the sole distributor of the film. Not available on streaming!
