Thin eaters need not apply

The following request was made by a documentary filmmaker:

Dear Eaters,

A New York based production company is seeking someone from the NY City region who wants to be the star of their own show. We are currently exploring the idea of creating an independent film tracking the journey of an unheralded eater whose goal is to reach the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest on July 4th. The all-access filming would stretch from pre-qualifiers, to the qualifying round, which could be at Shea Stadium, and through to the final in Coney Island. The key is that the subject must be funny, fat and interesting to watch. Interested? Sell us on why it should be you that we follow. Please send your e-mail and a photo and contact details to kannerr@aol.com

Spread the word, and good luck!

    funny, fat, and from New York City….let’s see, yes (or at least I make myself laugh)-no-used to be from close by…Ok, good enough reasons to submit myself to yet another rejection!!
    Where are the filmmakers who want semi-insane, semi-old, semi-non-talented eaters from Atlanta?!?

    superpaul would be ideal but he would have to put on some weight and they would have to agree to use that new song badlands and brian wrote about him. The whole idea is for the unheralded eater to finally make it to the nathans finals and i dont see philly guy getting in

    I would love to try out for this, but being in AICE, they probably wouldn’t even consider me. Excuse me while I go cry.

    Jill Stoler think of tonight as decision night. Nothing is easy in life. Call or send an email to the IFOCE and let them know you are anxious to become a member of their wonderful organization. They will consider it and more than likely give you a positive response with the promise that you sign a waiver form stating you will not participate in any other contests except for IFOCE. Now shutup and make up your damn mind you cant have your cake and eat it too. You will be tossing and turning all night thinking about the big decision. You got your trip to Japan now see if you can worm your way into the good graces of the Shea’s. Good luck for it wont be easy.

    Jill make you your mind for christ sake aice or ifoce . Call the office first thing monday morning and you might be welcome into a wonderful organization that will embrace you with a waiver form . You wont be getting any more trips to Japan. You prob wont even get $2.00 to ride the train to Coney Island but look at all the wonderful people you will have as friend. Now shutup and make your decision NOW!
