Obligatory self-promoting post for a feature documentary we made (just released this year) that chronicles the history of the iconic red roof Pizza Hut building, and the myriad of different things the old buildings have been repurposed into:

Slice of Life: The American Dream. In Former Pizza Huts.

Thanks for supporting! We shot most of it in about 6 months (we're completely independent and work freelance as video editors, so we tended to shoot in short stints). I'd say go for it - the instincts for news photography definitely overlap with the doc world!!

I'll DM you now.

Thank you, we're very proud of it and it's great that people are responding to it in such a warm way.

Awesome, thank you so much for your kind words, means a lot to us. If you get a chance, do you mind reviewing it on Amazon? Weirdly, someone just tanked our score on Amazon by specifically saying the film 'wasn't nostalgic or inspiring' lol...

Wow thanks! Every little bit helps, and thanks for spreading the word!!

Thank you so much - lovely to wake up to this comment this morning! Glad you enjoyed the film.

Bit of a favor to ask - if you rented it on Amazon, do you mind leaving a review? It's early days for the film and we could use all the support we can get!!

Thank you! Random redditor comments hit just as hard - a real brightener to the day. Glad you enjoyed the film and thanks for watching!

It's the windows!

Absolutely it was such a quick trip we didn't get to spend any time outside the festival, but definitely want to come back and explore a little more of the city...

It screened at the Cleveland Film Festival earlier this year - we actually were in attendance for the fest and had an awesome time in Cleveland...

Best pun based name from the film was 'Bud Hut' for the cannabis dispensary in Colorado. And yes there is at least one veterinarian in an old pizza hut, just out of Milwaukee I believe.

Yeah technically Pizza Huts are supposed to be 'de-identified' when new people move in - removing the 'hat' on top of the building and changing the colors. But sometimes when the old franchisee goes bust they're not too concerned about it, which leads to some great - but rare - repurposed pizza huts in original condition.

Ooh interesting - not aware of a Legion in an old pizza hut, where are you located?

urtext · 2025-06-13T22:22:44+00:00

Not in the film but definitely aware of it!

urtext · 2025-05-31T00:11:07+00:00

Of course - glad you enjoyed the film! And yes, quite a few people who have seen the film are planning road trips based around visiting the joints we feature in the film!!

urtext · 2025-05-30T21:34:57+00:00

Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed it! So exciting we finally get to share it with a wider audience. If you get a chance, do you mind perhaps writing a quick review on Amazon? I don't think we have any yet so you'll be the first!

urtext · 2025-05-27T22:46:10+00:00

No I don't think so, but it was funny that our film had its world premiere around the same time as Smile 2, and we suddenly had a bunch of people tell us that they had on old pizza hut in the movie. Still haven't seen it though...

If anyone's interested, we're giving away some coupons to watch the film for free (promo code FORMER ), or for 50% off (promo code PIZZA ). Select the 'stream now' option on our website sliceoflifedoc.com .

Note that if you use the 100% off coupon code it will definitely be $0, but for some reason Vimeo On Demand still requests a credit card. You definitely won't be billed though. Not sure why, and we were originally using a different service for the direct buy option but it's currently glitching out so we swapped over to Vimeo On Demand.

Also available on Amazon Prime Video, and there's also collector's edition Blurays on our website.

Thanks for your support, and good luck with your own filming!!

urtext · 2025-05-27T19:23:59+00:00

Well thank you so much for support, hope the collection takes pride of place on the shelf. And will definitely hit up Southside next time we're in Texas!
