About
A filmmaker tries to sell a documentary about concrete using the formula behind Hallmark movies.
Filmmaker John Wilson, who appears as himself, looks for a new outlet for his humorous observations after his series How To with John Wilson ends. He takes a course about writing and selling Hallmark-style films and decides to apply that commercial approach to a documentary about concrete. The project grows into a funny, thoughtful portrait of city life, the built environment and ordinary details of American daily life. Concrete, he finds, touches nearly every part of American society, and Wilson keeps his attention on the people he meets while filming. Michael Imperioli and Jack Macco are also listed as themselves.
