AMERICAN MOVIE

Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, is far from Hollywood, but Mark Borchardt has a dream. He enlists friends, local actors, and unwilling family members to help him finish his no-budget horror film. Over a two-year odyssey, Mark struggles with his film, his family, financial decline, and spiritual crisis.

Landing in cinemas the same year as The Blair Witch Project, this award-winning Sundance doc about a real-life attempt to make a low-budget horror movie quickly became a cult hit. A warm, funny tribute to the oddballs of the American heartland, with their eyes on the screen.
