Meaghan“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”
