Wiki.
Speedy Delivery is a 2008 documentary film directed and produced by Paul B. Germain. The film follows the life story of David Newell, better known as Mr. McFeely from the children's television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. This was released two months after the series' 40th anniversary. Speedy Delivery is the first film about Mister Rogers.
Shot in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the film is a character study of Newell, examining his mission to help save "The Neighborhood" following the death of his close friend Fred Rogers. Made on a budget of $4,000, it was funded by grants from two universities: Carnegie Mellon University and Pomona College. It aired regionally on PBS and was screened at The Feel Good Film Festival founded by Kristen Ridgway Flores, Flyway Film Festival, and the 2009 Seattle Children's Film Festival.
