Mockbuster: Meet The Filmmaker (Aug 28)
Advertisement
MEET THE FILMMAKER: Friday August 28, 6:50pm.
Join us for a live Q&A with filmmaker Anthony Frith, as he discusses his documentary and film THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT, which screens directly after this session.
Once-promising Australian filmmaker Anthony Frith lands a final shot at glory with Hollywood’s kings of B-movie schlock; The Asylum, the studio behind Sharknado. Tasked with directing a lost-world dinosaur film in suburban Adelaide on a six-day shoot and a shoestring budget, Frith also turns the camera on himself, filming a behind-the-scenes documentary as the chaos unfolds. Between demanding LA execs, a bewildered cast, and his own creeping self-doubt, both productions push their first-time director to the brink.
MOCKBUSTER is a hilarious and unexpectedly tender documentary about chasing the dream through the absurd hustle of genre filmmaking, but finding a different kind of success behind the scenes.
