Slinkys, Pet Rocks, and Ant Farms … behind every great novelty item, is a great Novelty Inventor.

Judi Krant’s directorial debut MADE IN CHINA is a comedy about one such inventor. Johnson (Jackson Kuehn) is a self-styled novelty inventor from a small town in East Texas who is determined to bring his big idea – "a humorous domestic hygiene product" – to the world. Johnson's journey takes him to the Mecca of the novelty world, China, where anything is possible and everything has its price. Lost in the backstreets of Shanghai, Johnson discovers that it takes more than a million dollar idea to make it to the big time. It takes guts, determination, and a fist full of sneezing powder.
