ABOUT THE FILM
“Rise of the Giants†follows the growth of the largest pumpkin in the world, Napa CA grower Tim Matheson’s 2032-pounder that broke the world record in 2013, the Utah Giant Pumpkin Growing club, and even inmates who are growing at the Spanish Fork jail. “Rise of the Giants†delves into a unique hobby that attracts salts-of-the-earth committed to making people smile. Every year growers around the country raise Atlantic Giant pumpkins that can grow over to 50 pounds a day (that is not a typo) – so big that once the contest is over, growers hollow them out and hold a boat race at Sugar House Park, which is captured in the film.
The film, creatively funded through a Kickstarter campaign, is directed by Los Angeles area-based filmmaker Daria Matza and co-produced by her husband Mark Devendorf.
After losing her mom to cancer, Matza credits many of the local giant-pumpkin growers for bringing her renewed hope. “2013 was the worst year of my life, but it was also the year a big squash pulled me from the brink,†reads Matza’s blog, entitled “How Giant Pumpkins Rescued Me.†Read Matza’s blog post here http://goodmenproject.com/uncategorized/how-a-giant-pumpkin-rescued-me-kvc/
