Caustic and deadpan, these short documentaries create hilarious, indelible portraits of Americana. Ganz and Streeter follow retirees in Sun Valley, honeymooners in the Poconos, sign painters in Brooklyn, help-line operators, female comportment instructors, Muzak executives, and denizens of a Bowery men’s shelter.
