American Movie presented by Eliza Zeitlin

In this hear-exploding tale of a cinematic dream, Mark Borchardt leads a team of hometown thespians and semi-willing family members through two years of financial crisis and emotional turmoil on a mission to finance is magnum opus, Northwestern through a direct-to-market, no-budget horror short titled Coven. The result is a bizarrely touching and hilariously poignant documentary that became an underground classic and a uniquely arresting portrait of Midwestern eccentricity, determination and character.
