At the annual Vent Haven Convention in Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky, ventriloquism capital of the world, director Mark Goffman discovers five extraordinary characters and their deeply human and touching stories: Kim, a former beauty queen; Dan, a thriving cruise ship performer; Dylan, an introverted 13-year-old; Wilma a quirky former security guard; and Terry, a small-time performer turned America’s Got Talent -winner. Dumbstruck tells the humorous and heartfelt story of these performers as they pursue their dreams of a career in puppetry, taking their acts across the United States, the Mexican Riviera, the Bahamas and Japan.
