Narrowsburg

I saw this as part of the Satisfied Eye International Film Festival and it's a testament to how incredible the story is that so many people came out of the screening discussing whether or not it had been a mockumentary or spoof. Expertly put together by Martha Shane, it's a brave film festival that puts on a documentary about how crooked some film festivals are; but it's a film that should really be seen by every single person in the industry. While the story seems far-fetched and incredible, there are many stories like it within the festival circuit. The skill of the makers of this documentary is in the clever patchwork of interviews, bringing them together and structuring the narrative like the kind of thriller Richard Castellano could only dream of pulling off. With a fascinating collection of characters in Narrowsburg and the film industry itself, it's a sad indictment of the power of film, Hollywood and the illusion of fame - not only over small town folk, but over those supposed professionals working within the industry.

The main "characters" in this are far too annoying for it to be enjoyable on any level. its really cheesy and dumb. its cringeworthy. bunch of failed b-typecast mafia d-bag hollywood wannabe actors scamming small town americans with their big city hustle tactics. dumb people doing dumb things to dumb people all in the name of cash. child please.
