I think I've seen this at least half a dozen times . It's a movie I enjoy revisiting every few years. It's a crazy, emotional journey with Mark Borchardt, a passionate, if slightly chaotic, indie filmmaker chasing his dream against all odds. Despite debts, an eccentric family, and endless setbacks, Mark’s determination shines. It’s funny, inspiring, and sometimes humiliating, but you can’t help rooting for him. The documentary is a raw look at the struggles of do-it-yourself filmmaking, and though Mark's journey is bumpy, it’s a reminder that, for some, the dream alone keeps them going.
