Making It: Big Dreams on a Small Budget

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

Strap in for a wild ride through the anything-goes world of DIY cinema - where blood flows freely, budgets are microscopic, and creativity knows no bounds. This documentary dives deep into the gritty underground of direct-to-video filmmaking, with firsthand accounts from the renegades who defined the era, many of whom are still making movies today. Featuring revealing interviews with cult icons like Dennis Devine, Jeff Leroy, Brink Stevens, Veronica Ricci, Sally Mullins, Del Howison and more, it's a love letter to the sleazy, bloody, brilliant B-movies that refused to play by Hollywood's rules.
