A pseudo-documentary, made by Todd Verow and his gang, which describes the filmmaking methods of which Verow has become a bit of a guru in indie circles, capturing the rebel spirit of digi-features in the eyes of many mainstream media outlets. Verow’s production crew, which includes himself, producer/writer James Derek Dwyer, and a stable of actors including Philly, Brenda Velez, Eric Sapp, Devery Doleman, and Bill Dwyer, have cranked out an enormous amount of videotape, screening around the world to festivals, all the while maintaining an intimate and small-scale process.
