MARVIN "POPCORN" SUTTON (1946-2009) was an American original, from rural North Carolina (& Tennessee,) U.S. of A.
The man had a wisdom and a way with words . . .
He apparently died an incredibly rich man. Millions . . . Maybe. . . . Maybe not . . .
This is a documentary in these men's voices---99% POPCORN's; no narrator, thank goodness.
" 'THIS IS THE LAST DAM RUN OF LIKKER I'LL EVER MAKE'
The original cult classic that made moonshiner POPCORN SUTTON famous.
Filmed and released in 2002. Remastered in 2012.
Available on DVD as a special feature with 'THE LAST ONE,' from www.suckerpunchpictures.com
POPCORN SUTTON had made a home movie of himself making moonshine in 1998, which he sold on VHS tape out of his Maggie Valley Junk shop, at the bend of the road heading out of town towards Soco Gap and Cherokee [North Carolina; U.S.A.] The film had the same title as his self-penned book, "Me and My Likker," and was re-released by Sutton in 2009 as "Popcorn Sutton Making Likker a Long Time Ago." After working with Neal Hutcheson on the documentary film Mountain Talk (released in 2002), the two teamed up to produce a new film with Popcorn making moonshine. Hutcheson produced the first cut for Popcorn to sell and it was available for many years exclusively on VHS tape from the man himself. The footage was reworked into the Emmy award-winning PBS release "The Last One" (released in 2008) However, the legend of the original film, "last run," was growing even as it was becoming almost impossible to find. The film was remastered and released as a bonus feature with the 10th anniversary edition of "The Last One" in 2012.
