The Summer I Got Tall

Lewis worked at an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime job for Larry Flynt’s iconic HUSTLER empire. Life was good until his personal relationship with Flynt’s assistant led to an unintended pregnancy which resulted in his immediate termination and sent him on a downward spiral. His departure challenged his resolve and tested his will. In spite of daunting setbacks in the months that followed, he persevered with a smile on his face while he searched for his new purpose in life. The conversational style of The Summer I Got Tall feels like you’re at a party and the funniest guy in the room is telling you a captivating story that you can’t believe is true. From producing lust-soaked movies to business meetings with the late Penthouse founder Bob Guccione, to a precedent-setting lawsuit against the media mogul Flynt, Lewis came to realize that nothing mattered more than his new family. Just when his frantic life seemed to be settling down, his promising path took another treacherous turn when allegations against his high-powered attorney, Gloria Allred, triggered a chain of events that would result in even more adversity. If you’ve ever rooted for the underdog in life, you’ll love The Summer I Got Tall.
