About the Film
In 2004, Bill Foss of Buffalo Minnesota (USA)
grew nine giant pumpkins totaling over two and a half tons,
just missing the half ton mark on his biggest. His 713 lb
pumpkin holds the record at the 2004 Minnesota State Fair
and seeds from his 865 is one of the most popular this year
with other growers.
This year he's hoping to top his record at the Minnesota State
Fair, beat the Minnesota state record of 1083.5, and just
grow big.
Follow Bill Foss as he attempts
to break various records by growing big pumpkins. Filled with
humor and insight into the world of giant pumpkin growers,
this documentary hopes to tell the tale of one midwestern
man's road to victory, with the obvious extra helping of
pumpkin.
