Rand P One night in 2014 I’d stepped outside our local pub for a smoke when a city bus stopped and this guy exits. I look at him and say “Spry Bry!” He looks at me with this astonished look on his face, being a guy who lives in Canada stepping out in LA. The thing is, I’d left work early the night before to see the Hollywood premier of a documentary called “Taking My Parents to Burning Man.” Bry is the creator of the doc. Once I explained how I knew who he was I invited him into the pub for a drink. It was a playa moment in the default world. I don’t often say something makes me giggle, but this doc does. I snicker, smile, and giggle. If you’re looking for something cute to watch before we head out to BRC, check it out. Well edited, great music, and different take on the playa adventure we all call Burning Man. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review dominic d I had the pleasure of seeing this at its Canadian premiere. A personal, funny and touching documentary of great interest to millennials struggling with identity or feeling unconnected with the world around them. Burning Man is after all a phenomenon that defies convention and definition. Bry bringing his parents into his world and showing them the infamous festival gives us hope more people might be a little more caring to what they don't understand. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I recently had the pleasure to view this film that won the Audience Award at the 2014 Newport Beach Film Festival. It's an excellent documentary that will have you laughing throughout. The film takes you on a journey through highs and lows as Spry Bry and his parents experience Burning Man and the emotions that come with it. You'll shed some tears!

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny, heartwarming film. A must for anyone who hasn't been to Burning Man, not as exciting for those of us who have. Nevertheless, very worthwhile and honest documentary. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A great movie that captures the essence of what burning man is about. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A truly amazing and touching doc. The story of Bryant taking his parents to burning man in itself is an intriguing prospect, but the unseen and almost catastrophic issues encountered along the way (such as losing all of their funding) make this an exciting, and sometimes tense film to watch. As someone who has never been to Burning Man, I believe the story of this family, the stories of strangers that are met on the playa (black rock city) , the random and surreal situations encountered in the desert, and the amazing/tear jerking/ emotional final third of the film have left me with a good understanding of how ones life could be changed by simply being involved in this community.
