American Movie

Mark Borchardt is passionate about cinema. His dream project is a film called ‘Northwestern’ but he is in serious debt and decides that if he finishes his horror short “Coven”, he will be able to finance his masterwork. His attempts involve his 82-year old uncle, his girlfriend and a series of dreadful jobs, but Mark never gives up. This is a warm and funny tribute to the passion for film as well as the drive and determination of dreamers in general – if this numpty can make his movie, you can realize your ambition too!

Directed by Chris Smith (2010)
