American Movie Official Trailer - HD
THIS MOVIE IS WORTH WATCHING!
The whole movie is on youtube, or netflix is offering it on DVD.
This is an independent documentary about an ordinary man trying to make a horror movie.
I had the good fortune of seeing it premier at a film festival. If you ever have a chance to go to a film festival you should go. Even if it is for just one screening. The Q&A after the films are amazing. You get to meet the people involved in the film and learn about the making of it.
