Mockbuster

B-movie fan and corporate video maker Anthony Frith has long aspired to direct a feature. In a last-ditch attempt, he contacts the legendary trash movie house, creators of many mockbusters (blockbuster knockoffs). A meeting with executives in Los Angeles follows and he heads home filled with trepidation, a page of plot points and the promise of a script. He is given just six days to shoot a lost world dinosaur film in suburban Adelaide on a shoestring budget. Frith documents the chaotic process, his bewildered cast, and his own creeping self-doubt. As he chases his dream through the rollercoaster hustle that is low-budget genre filmmaking, Frith simultaneously creates this riotous yet insightful documentary.
