The Vacuum Kid
First screened in September 2011
Director: Katharine Mahalic. Interview subjects include Kyle Krichbaum, Randy Krichbaum, Mary Lynn Krichbaum, Michelle Krichbaum, Chad Schiebeil, Jeff Condon, Sally Glasser, Anna Wendt.

Twitter Capsule: Sprightly bio of 12-year-old vacuum devotée plays like a put-on but isn't. Comic and sympathetic in equal degree.

VOR:   (By short-film standards) Tender, humorous, but non-exploitative way to consider a kid's uniqueness. He's more original than the movie.
