Made in China (2009)

In the realm of whoopie cushions, slinkys, and rubber chickens, there thrives a unique breed of visionaries - the Novelty Inventors. Among them is Johnson, a spirited and tenacious 20-something, who believes he holds the blueprint for the next big novelty sensation. Yet, in the comfort of his hometown, his dreams are met with skepticism, even from his own mother. The veil of secrecy he maintains around his invention only amplifies their disbelief. Undeterred, Johnson decides that if his idea can't take flight at home, he'll bring it to the place where dreams are molded into reality - China. With his life savings in tow and a manufacturing contact from Craigslist as his only lead, Johnson embarks on a journey to the heart of Shanghai, the pulsating hub of production where dreams transform into 'Stuff'. But when his contact falls through, Johnson finds himself isolated in an uncharted territory, with his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity threatening to dissolve into thin air. Guided by sheer determination and a relentless spirit, Johnson navigates his way through the labyrinth of Shanghai's bustling market streets, its cosmopolitan nightclubs, and its enchanting ancient gardens. He must decode the enigma of this vibrant city and master the art of getting something 'Made In China' before his dream evaporates. "Made in China" is the captivating tale of an underdog's pursuit to realize his version of the American Dream, a dream that can only be born in the heart of China's bustling cities and ancient cultures. It's a rollercoaster of inspiration, resilience, and hard work, demonstrating that sometimes, the greatest adventures are found in the pursuit of the seemingly impossible.
