“Movies were his passion. Women were his inspiration. Angora sweaters were his weakness.”

ComedyDramaHistory

The mostly true story of the legendary "worst director of all time", who, with the help of his strange friends, filmed countless B-movies without ever becoming famous or successful.

VIBE

This film is a wonderfully eccentric and heartfelt ode to creative passion and outsider artistry. It's a bittersweet, quirky journey through the dreams and determination of an unconventional filmmaker, wrapped in a stylish black-and-white aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and timeless, celebrating the joy of making art against all odds.
