This has the feel of some kind of grass roots hack film - not even something of underground quality that would pop up on Netflix. But I'll give it a watch to see what happens.
Story about these kinds of projetcts -
So there are a few pop culture things that I have been deeply into since I was a kid, since the 80's. Iron Man (probably pretty obvious at this point), Indiana Jones, stuff like that. So some years back there was this documentary being made that was very hyped in "Indiana Jones" groups. The documentary I think was called "Indy Fans". People were excited because, if anything, documentary-guy was good at gaining traction for the project. It was released, had some nice DVD cover art, and gave the air of being a pretty encompassing look - if not at the movies, then at least at Indiana Jones fandom.
Then I watched it. It would've been excruciating had it been any better but it was so bad that it took me some time to process what I had seen. The documentary accomplished nothing. It was a documentary about filming a documentary. The actual documentary could have been one the special features about making the actual documentary. They documented nothing. At one point at some film festival, the documentary guy goes on stage and tells a bunch of people at the film festival that they are creating an Indiana Jones documentary and that the people in the film festival are going to be in it. That's it. And they put that in the documentary. Then significant amounts of time are used where the documentary creator is on camera dressed as Indiana Jones and taking himself so seriously while speaking like Indiana Jones that it comes off as dry comedy. The movie culminates in a discussion about an Indiana Jones roller coaster.... somewhere.... a theme park somewhere...
Don't make an STP or Weiland documentary like the Indy Fans documentary.
