Sleestak's Big Adventure

2023

12min

A Portland-flavored reboot of the tequila scene from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” the 1985 Tim Burton-directed film that’s since become a cult classic. This version also includes a prologue cameo featuring Kathy Coleman and Wesley Eure, who played siblings Will and Holly in the original “Land of the Lost” TV series from the 1970s. The duo wasn’t able to travel to Portland but filmed a scene to be edited into the project. Many of the local cast and extras are members of Weird Portland United, a nonprofit collective of the city’s self-proclaimed weird artists.
