Synopsis

It's all REAL, it's all HERE, and it's ALIVE!

Enter the bizarre world of Scott Baker, master of the bally stage at Coney Island's Sideshows by The Seashore. In this award-winning documentary short, Director Gary Beeber uses archival footage, interviews with freaks, carnies, and performers of all shapes and sizes, and an intimate conversation with Scott Baker himself to deliver to the viewer performances of his most outrageous, death-defying sideshow routines as well as an honest look into the life of a constant and consummate performer.
