Kendra Skeene hadn't planned on co-producing PEZheads-the Movie along with her husband Chris Skeene and director Chris Marshall. It was much more than an active desire, a happy accident. "(Chris) dragged me along to the first convention, and I just kind of figured that I'd be in the way," she says. "But, then all of the sudden I realized that they needed someone to take care of things like making sure people signed release forms or setting up interviews so they could go do other things. All the sudden it was like, "They need me to just run around and harass people and not worry about the filming aspect." It was just a random, "Well, I guess I'm doing this too."

"Chris and I would be thinking all these lofty things about what we were doing, going here and going there," Marshall says. "Kendra would ground us and say, "What are you actually doing? Do we need to pay for it? Do we need to get hotel rooms?" So we were like, "Oh, we're glad you're thinking of all those things."

Chris Skeene adds to this: "The one big trip we took without Kendra we went up north to interview Robbie from The Goo Goo Dolls, the PEZ factory and Easton Musuem, all of that stuff we did in one long trip. We just got in the car and drove up there. We didn't really make any phone calls until we were up there, and we were like, "Hey, we're up here. Can we come talk to you? Can we come to your house? Yeah, we're next door. Can we come over and hang out?" It would never have happened like that if Kendra were there. Everything would have been set in advance. We'd have a "this day we're going here, this day we're going here." But, of course, that means we didn't get release forms signed. We got some."

"The ones we waited for six months to get, we would have gotten if I was there," Kendra says, smiling and laughing, traits very much indicitive naturally of her personality.

"If she was there, it would have saved time later," Chris says. "It was totally a different process because it was just me and (Chris Marshall), and it was totally flying by the seat of our pants."
