The documentary “American Movie” (1999) chronicles the struggles of a Wisconsin film maker to complete his black and white horror short-film, “Coven”. For this episode of “Boys and Ghouls”, Kat and Marshall will look at both movies and bring you the story of Mark Borchardt; the midwestern man, doggedly determined to see his vision through to completion.
Through “American Movie” and “Coven” we get to know the other characters in Mark’s orbit; the grumpy, reluctant producer Uncle Bill and Mark’s woolly, steadfast friend, Mike Schank. Together, with local talent and family members, they find a way to bring “Coven” to the big screen.
So, join us as we look at this often-funny and always inspiring story along with the un-compromised horror movie that resulted from it.
