I was able to see this version in 1995 when Trent did a screening at the Utah Film and Video Center. It was so fun! Trent loved the story, and showed us the original footage of the actual guy from Beaver Utah.
So, one thing about the Orkin Kid that I noticed (although I could be remembering wrong since it's been since the Beaver Trilogy showed at Sundance in 2001 that I've seen the movie) is that they implied that the Orkin Kid had some homosexual tendencies, which wasn't in the original footage.
Growing up in Utah, seeing that footage hit close to home. I've been to (and in) a few funny talent shows, and have some old 8mm of my own.

Thanks Trent and Crispin!
