The American Movie

     This documentary is great. It is chock-full of crazy characters from the main subject: Mark Borchardt. He is trying to make a horror movie named Northwestern but, eventually settles for making a 30 minute short film called Coven. It is all about him trying to borrow money from his uncle and the ups and downs of him making a low-budget movie. I won't go into it anymore detail just that it is a wacky documentary and you need to check it out.
