'Schtick Happens' is a follow up documentary to 'Original Schtick'. It documents the conflict between documentary filmmakers and their subject after the release of "Original Schtick". It's a story that challenges notions of representation as it traces, subject, Bob Fischer's unfolding story, his shifting reactions to the film, the tenuousness of his involvement with the documentary filmmakers, as well as their joint attempts to sell and promote their work. This film is about making it happen; capitalizing on fame, while also recognizing that 'schtick' can pass in a fleeting moment. And what you have left is the difference between art and artfulness.
