SMC Pod #94: AMERICAN MOVIE & a deeper dive into the documentary

The SMC team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) discuss Chris Smith's 1999 classic doc AMERICAN MOVIE about Wisconsin filmmaker Mark Borchardt's near quixotic quest to complete his horror short movie COVEN to finance his feature NORTHWEST with the help of his family andd best friend Mike Schenk. The team talks about other documentaries that have blown them away from Robert Flaherty's 1940's LOUISIANA STORY all the way to the current run of Netflix amazing true-crime docs like THE STAIRCASE. Edwin finds Fellini's LA DOLCE VITA boring. Craig ends the podcast with a song he wrote for Edwin on guitar and harmonica while waiting for the team to log in to Skype.
