Synopsis:

Mark Borchardt could give legendary B-movie auteur Ed Wood a run for his money as the lamest filmmaker on Earth. American Movie chronicles Borchardt’s three-year effort to finish his short horror film, Coven. Lending encouragement and, at times, cash, is a motley crew of characters composed of Borchardt’s friends, local theater talent and his inimitable Uncle Bill.
