About this product

Product Information

Smith's film is a poignant commentary on what it takes to make an independent film. It also happens to be a genuinely hysterical, crowd-pleasing romp. Trying to get his masterpiece, NORTHWESTERN, off the ground, but failing miserably due to lack of funding and support, struggling Midwestern filmmaker Mark Borchardt instead turns his attention to COVEN, an abandoned 37-minute horror film that he began filming in 1990. His hopes are to sell enough copies of the video to enable him to clear his current debts and begin moving forward with his real baby, NORTHWESTERN. The painstaking effort to get COVEN in the can and onto the screen for the film's world premiere provides the greatest laughs in this undeniably entertaining documentary.

    "American Movie forever!"

    "American Movie" is one of my favorite documentaries about making a movie. I thought I would never find a DVD copy for a good price and in good condition--but I did on eBay! Now that I have it, I'm so happy!

  • Don't underestimate *anyone* as not being up to the challenge, especially of making a movie--if it's their passion.

    Saw this film, "American Movie," years ago and loved it--loaned it out to someone and lost track of it. So worth getting it back. The LA Times just did a huge profile on the film (on its 25th anniversary) a few weeks ago. Keeps surprising you at every turn.

  • One of the best things ever put to celluloid.

    One of the best things ever put to celluloid. Really hard to find on DVD - so happy to have found it - a classic that never gets old.

  • Great

    I found out about this movie through reviews on Youtube and I then bought this movie on dvd and I thought it was really great, it has good comedy, it has its joyful scenes and it has sad scenes. For being a documentary of a guy wanting to make movies, I could connect to him because I make movies and its hard, things always go wrong when making even a short one. I was happy that they put the short film that they were making in the movie on this dvd as a bonus feature and they also included deleted scenes in there. Its a really great movie for young filmmakers or people that want a laugh. (Reviewer is 14 yrs old).
