George and Mike Kuchar have been making movies for decades. Whether or not you’ve seen any of them, though, depends a lot on whether you are a fan of underground movies from the 1960s or not. From the clips you get shown in this fascinating documentary, the quality of the films the brothers make is questionable, but there is no denying the passion they bring to every production no matter how cheap it is. And it’s nice to see these old cinematic hipsters passing along the message to young filmmakers that you don’t need a big budget and stars to make a movie. All you need is an idea, a camera and some fools willing to stand up in front of it and do what you tell them.
