American Movie
Filmmaker Mark Borchardt (right) and executive producer Uncle Bill.
This film documents the making of "Northwestern". The filmmaker Mark Borchardt, who is fascinated by the idea of making movies since his childhood (his favorite films are "Night of the Living Dead" and "The Seventh Seal"), dreams of making a full feature length film after a few short horror flicks he did. The documentary starts showing him looking through his mail - full of bills - until he stops, saying: "Your AT&T Universal Card has arrived?! Oh God, Kick-fucking-ass, I got a Master Card!" From this moment everything goes wrong:
The director gets drunk and stoned during the casting of locals of his hometown which is somewhere on the northwest side of Milwaukee. The money is gone before Borchardt can really start his movie.
To get the money the director decides to finish the short horror film "Coven" (pronounced 'COVE-n', "I don't want it to rhyme with oven!"), which he started some time ago. According to him he then 'only' has to sell 3000 copies and he is in business to shoot "Northwestern". It takes about three years to make the film, full of mishaps like the stunt of crashing an actor´s head through a kitchen locker does not work out as expected.
Always on by Borchardt´s side is his stoner-friend Mike Schank who is addicted to scratchcard lottery. The main and only investor who also works as a dubbing artist is 82-year-old Uncle Bill.
Chris Smith, the director of this documentary, shows the characters without making fun of them, they are presented as they are. However you can´t help loughing about them while on the other hand this story about big dreams and unsuccessfulness is very sad and the characters would treat themselves if they wouldn´t look at their own life and work so overearnestly.
Highly recommended, you won´t find greater characters in any fictional story.
Mark Borchardt: "They're making a mockery of my words, man. This whole thing is turning out to be a theatrical mockery. You understand that, Mike?"
Mike Schank: "No."
Mark Borchardt: "Well, you will."
