Intermittently fascinating and boring, but I have a suspicion that underneath, the filmmakers were secretly making fun of Mark Borchardt and his friends and family.
Many of those posting here have commented on Borchardt's being "untalented," but where do you get that from? Based on the snippets of his films shown here, he's no more or less talented than any other low budget, struggling filmmaker. I think the "untalented" moniker comes because Borchardt isn't all urban and sophisticated and polished. He drinks too much and uses the "F word" too much and tries to show off his command of filmmaking lingo around his friends and family. And frankly, he would be a total embarassment at an L.A. industry lunch at the Ivy. But does that make him "untalented?"
So other than making fun of Borchardt, what was the filmmakers' point? That some Midwestern, uneducated schlub doesn't have a prayer of making a movie? That he has colorful relatives who live in trailers? Was it supposed to make urban, educated, sophistacted NPR subscribers feel superior? I don't understand.....

I know somebody who worked on this movie -- that is the only reason I watched more than 10 minutes of this garbage. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Poorly written and acted, trite, hackneyed plot, and actors who all look alike spewing the F word every other second. Somehow, this dazzled people at Sundance years ago, but I think a better quality of independent film has sprung up since then. If this were released today, it would never make it to Sundance, and would never get distribution.
