‘Ueck’ Documentary Opens in Marcus Theaters Across Wisconsin

Rare archival footage and extended interviews shape a portrait of Bob Uecker’s late-career arc as filmmakers pursue broader release options.

Overview

  • The documentary follows what the directors describe as the final three years of Bob Uecker’s life and is currently playing at Marcus Theaters statewide, including the Cedar Creek location.
  • Directors Steve Farr and Michael Vollman secured extensive behind-the-scenes access and recorded long, candid interviews with Uecker, his family, friends and members of the Milwaukee Brewers.
  • The film relies on rare archival material to show Uecker’s shift from a modest playing career to a lasting public persona often called “Mr. Baseball.”
  • Farr and Vollman, who identify as long‑time Brewers fans, say strong local interest has encouraged them to seek additional theater bookings around Wisconsin and to explore a possible streaming distribution deal.
  • Future screening dates and any wider-release or streaming announcements will be posted on the film’s official website as the filmmakers negotiate expanded exhibition.
