Join your host Maura McAndrew for another installment of Sunday Scaries. This month we’ll be featuring the 1999 Mark Borchardt cult classic American Movie.
The film follows Mark Borchardt, a cinema-obsessed ne’er-do-well struggling to make his filmmaking dreams come true— with a little help from his best friend Mike, his eccentric Uncle Bill, and a community that wants to believe in him. From Reverse Shot: “American Movie is a tragicomic paean to perilously independent American cinema… it encapsulates the shaggy, aspirational optimism of a bygone filmmaking era, worthy of romantic remembrance”
Maura will start the evening with back story, production notes, and cultural context.
