WE'RE MAKING A MOVIE!
Presented by MUBI
Innovative filmmaking captured in iconic documentaries and imagined with ensemble casts that send up the process, WE’RE MAKING A MOVIE! is a series that explores the portrayal of low budget productions in a variety of forms.
In Peter Bogdanovich’s NICKELODEON we see the invention of the art of cinema, sometimes with disastrous results, while in other films we find the singular visions that blur the line between madness and genius. Egos inflate, fires are started, even kids get in the mix in PUT THE CAMERA ON ME, in which future filmmakers Darren Stein and Adam Shell imitate movies using siblings and neighborhood friends.
