NOTHING to do with financing; could have been great.


This is NOT a documentary. It's 1.5 hours of "remember the good old days" banter between directors and actors (filmed over coffee or in hotel rooms) about their experiences getting past movies made; old stale FAQs we don't already know from IMDB or Wikipedia. There is NOTHING about financing films except for the oft-repeated "will you give us 15 grand?" joke that gets old and lame fast.

It would have been more suited as a YouTube clip or filler for Showtime. The unfortunate thing is that this COULD have been a hard-hitting and insightful documentary about the brutal realities of film financing - had it not been made by two Hollywood insiders who dared not bite the hands that feed them.

The whole film was about financing movies, how could you miss that. Like almost everybody else, the film was a joke in a way as there was never any film to be financed. That whole part was made up. What the film was showing was how difficult it is to get finance in this day and age.
