A uniquely Midwestern artist's journey, American Movie follows the true struggles of Mark Borchardt, a Wisconsin slacker-auteur, as he strives to finish Coven, his horror magnum opus. A comedic masterpiece of a documentary that brought to life the archetypes of the genre popularized throughout the '90s, the film spotlights the resolve of a true DIY filmmaker who has only one goal: make a kick-ass movie.
