A five-year examination of independent filmmaker Justin McConnell, this documentary chronicles the challenges of financing, attracting the right collaborators, executing practical effects, and selling the finished film to turn a profit. Featuring interviews with a broad slate of industry luminaries, it examines not only technical craft and interpersonal dynamics but also emotional stamina and the little-known guidance required to survive in the low-budget film landscape.
