The Heck With Hollywood!

Running Time: 57 minutes

Format project was originally shot in: 16mm

Synopsis/Subject:
No one ever said breaking into the movie business was easy, but few people realize just how hard it can be. This critically acclaimed documentary chronicles four years in the lives of three first-time, "no-budget" independent filmmakers as they struggle to finish and find distribution for their movies.
The nominees are: Personal Foul, a romantic drama starring Adam Arkin and David Morse, shot by Ted Lichtenheld in his home town of Rockford, Illinois; the award-winning documentary, Beirut: The Last Home Movie, by Jennifer Fox; and Gerry Cook's Only A Buck, a comedy that the filmmaker is forced to self-distribute, "factory-direct," via Winnebago
