American Movie...

Hmmm… what can I say about American Movie? Well, it was a lot better than I had thought it would be. At the beginning, I wasn't all that intrigued by it, but it became increasingly interesting as it went on. It definitely demonstrates how important it is, especially when trying to create a career in entertainment, to have dedication and a genuine interest in the entire process of filmmaking/production and not be blinded by the glamorous side of the industry, because it can be very difficult to get to where you want to be. With that said, Mark Borchardt, the man featured in the film was quite the character. You have to give him credit for never giving up on his dream, but at the same time, it was a little bit difficult to take him seriously because he just didn’t seem to have his priorities completely straight, man (sorry, I couldn’t resist). However, I was a little curious about whether or not he was still making movies, so I looked him up on IMDb, and he is actually credited on quite a few films as an actor, director, producer, editor and cinematographer, with one of his films, Scare Me, currently shooting and scheduled to be released in 2010, so it seems like he is still going after his dreams and you can’t fault him for that. What did everyone else think about this film?
