An interesting little film about a guy in rural America trying to make his own film. I think the most interesting part of the film was trying to figure out the main character. He comes across as a sort of well-meaning hustler - I say this because I think in his heart he thinks that everyone shares his vision. Later in the film we see - like so many other hucksters - he thinks that he is a success and that good and decent people around him (who have achieved way more than he has) are beneath him. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies
