“They're about to get lost in the woods... Again!”

ComedyHorrorMystery

In 1994, three filmmakers went into the woods to film a documentary about the legendary Blair Witch. They disappeared and have never been found… But the film grossed a lot of money. How come? We don't know... In 2000, three more filmmakers went into the woods to find out what happened to the three unfortunate filmmakers... They also disappeared... But what did all these people do? A collection of short films by filmmakers searching for their "Witch" in an attempt to imitate the 1999 blockbuster.

This is a riotously self-aware, low-fi send-up that revels in its own absurdity. Expect a chaotic, silly ride through the early 2000s found-footage craze, full of meta-humor and intentionally amateurish charm. It's a playful jab at media hype and the art of imitation, best enjoyed with a lighthearted spirit.
