American Movie

“a little too on-the-nose about filmmaking aspirations in wisconsin”

“This documentary is a TREASURE. Set in Wisconsin it follows a seriously passionate indie filmmaker named Mark Borchardt as he works on completing his horror film Coven (or “coe-ven” as he pronounces it throughout). The best writers in the biz couldn’t write characters like those you meet in this doc. Hilarious, heartfelt, endearing. 10/10”

“All time favorite. Touching and inspiring and heartwarming and devastating(?) in the best way.”

“completely epic and funny and moving and perfect.”

“It’s one of my favorite movies and inspired me to become a documentary filmmaker.”

“Found family and creative obsession in rural Wisconsin. Infinitely rewatchable.”
