November 16, 2014'American Movie' was inspiring and really sad at the same time. It was a documentary about Mark Borchardt, an aspiring film-maker with big dreams, but no budget. He desperately wanted to make a short film called 'Coven' that he could sell to be able to finance the feature film he had been wanting to make for years. With the help of his weird, slacker friends, and a modest budget from his clueless uncle, he set out to make a movie, and somehow pulled it off. He made the 40 minute 'Coven' (released as a special feature on the DVD I borrowed from my friend Sheila) which was surprisingly good considering what they were working with. Unfortunately, he still hasn't made his feature film. Hopefully someday he will get the chance, because if nothing else, the guy has a vision.
