Hitting theaters on June 6 and On Demand a day earlier is the new documentary Burt’s Buzz centered on Burt Shavitz, the face and co-founder of Burt’s Bees. You know, the lip balm, lotion and whatever else all of us have used at some point in our lives.
Produced and Directed by Jody Shapiro, the doc is said to explore Burt’s life and just watching the trailer I feel something of a kinship with the man and his final statement: “A good day is when no one shows up and you don’t have to go anywhere.” Of course, hard work breeds interest and Burt is a celebrity, a moisturizing celebrity at that… a not-too-common category of stardom.
The film looks like a rather simple story of a reclusive man that found fame in a weird roundabout way and is dealing with it however he knows best. I don’t expect there to be an overwhelming amount to take away from this doc other than a sweet little story, but it could be a fun one to take in.
Give the trailer a watch below.
