Who Is Vermin Supreme? An Outsider Odyssey (2014)
Vermin Supreme is no ordinary presidential candidate. Promising a free pony for every American, a fully funded time travel research program, and unprecedented zombie preparedness initiatives for a new American Republic, he truly is the people's candidate and the friendly fascist par excellence. "Who Is Vermin Supreme? An Outsider Odyssey" follows Vermin Supreme's raucous 2012 campaign from the Rainbow Gathering in the the Cherokee National Forest to the Democratic and Republican National Conventions to Occupy Wall Street protests, and all the way to heart of the American Empire in Washington, DC. From the unsettling gravitas of marauding riot police to the unbridled joy of songs sung for police officers and pranks played on anti-abortion fanatics, "Who Is Vermin Supreme?" is certain to show you America as you've never seen it before.

The Worst Film Ever
Fresh and Exciting
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Vermin Supreme is a natural born activist, a challenger to the political establishment. His sometimes hilarious antics are themselves absurd but are integral in pointing out the not so humorous absurdities of standard politics. He has crafted a persona as an alternative candidate to the two-party system, a totalitarian anarchist, an overbearing leader of peace and love. Steve Onderick does an incredible job bringing Vermin closer to home from the Internet where he first gained fame. There is an obvious intellectual intimacy that Mr. Onderick was able to cultivate with this otherwise wild character. And in this film, among scenes of protests and speeches, rallies and highjinks, we are also given a chance to get to know the man under the boot.
