American Movie

American Movie is a 90s cult-favorite of the documentary world and a film everyone should watch before turning 30. Mark Borchardt, an aspiring filmmaker from the Wisconsin countryside, is set on finishing his low-budget horror movie, despite a barrage of difficulties.

Lack of cash, unreliable help and numerous personal problems plague the project and with the assistance of his bumbling, loyal and hilarious friend Mike Schank, Mark struggles to move forward.

The film makes for a beautiful and bittersweet portrait of an ambitious man that all dreamers will find familiarity in.
