GRANITE FALLS, Minn. — Pioneer Public Television’s Postcards program will share Mike Scholtz’s latest film Kinderchomper on Thursday, March 28 at 7 p.m. The episode will be rebroadcast on Sunday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. and on Monday, April 1 at 1:30 p.m. The stories will also be available for online viewing through the station’s website: www.pioneer.org/postcards.
Most days, Joe Klander works in Duluth as an ophthalmology technician — he’s a family man and mild-mannered multimedia artist with an alter ego — that of a baby-eating wrestler in Japan. Duluth-based filmmaker Mike Scholtz’s short film explores the fearlessness driving Klander’s bizarre imagination. Kinderchomper has been selected by film festivals around the US including the Independent Film Festival Boston, the Rainier Independent Film Festival in Washington, the Thin Line Fest in Texas and it headlined the Fargo Film Festival near Scholtz’s hometown of Moorhead.
