About This Movie

This quirky comedy about Caleb Shatar, a student trying to save his visa through a no-budget historical film, really brings a unique spin to the genre. The way it explores the absurdity of academic pressures and the lengths one goes for extra credit is refreshingly odd. The chemistry between Caleb, his eccentric professor, and the ex-con reenactor is quite something; you can feel the improvisational vibe in their performances. It captures a bizarre yet charming tone throughout, with just enough practical effects to keep things visually interesting, though you can tell it’s all about the dialogue-driven humor. Not your typical historical film, it feels more like a love letter to the eccentricities of filmmaking itself.

Finding this film in any format can be quite the challenge since it didn't see a wide release. The limited distribution means that collector interest is on the rise, especially among those who appreciate indie cinema with a comedic twist. It’s likely to attract attention at film festivals or underground screenings, making it a neat piece for collectors who enjoy unique narratives and offbeat humor.
