You can’t get much more Milwaukee than an Opening Night
world premiere about a true Milwaukee icon made by two
Milwaukee filmmakers. UECK is a fantastic documentary
celebrating the life of the legendary Bob Uecker, made by
Milwaukee’s own Michael T. Vollmann and Steve Farr.
Milwaukee legend, Bob Uecker, the former Major League baseball player, Hall of Fame sportscaster, comedian, and actor has seen it all and made us laugh along the way. Though UECK passed away in January 2025, this documentary from Milwaukee-based filmmakers Michael T. Vollmann and Steve Farr persists as a testament to his legacy, giving audiences intimate access to his life, work, family, and friends, amplifying his humor and heart for future generations.
