Which was released first, "American Movie" or "Über Goober"?
American Movie American Movie is a 1999 documentary film directed by Chris Smith. The film chronicles the real 1996–97 making of "Coven", an independent horror film directed by filmmaker Mark Borchardt. Produced for the purpose of raising capital for another film that Borchardt intends to make, the epic "Northwestern," "Coven" suffers from numerous setbacks, including poor financing, a lack of planning, Borchardt's burgeoning alcoholism, and the ineptitude of the friends and family Borchardt hires as his production team. The documentary follows Borchardt's filmmaking process from script to screen, and is interspersed with footage from both developing projects. "American Movie" was produced by Sarah Price and edited by Jun Diaz and Barry Poltermann.
