I didn't know what to expect when I bought this and was quite surprised and happy with my purchase. The film is very different and maybe that's why some people didn't like it so much? I wasn't really confused by the style and there are some very very funny moments like the driving scene. I also like the fact that there are some parts that are not so obvious and the audience has to decide what they mean for themselves.

I liked it a lot, a bit like being a fly on the wall in a hurricane as you're thrown right in the middle of this indie film set trying to figure out who's who and where you're at in the production.

One of the only films I've seen that shows the train wreck feel of a lot of indie sets.

Watching it you understand why every filmmaker wants to kill his entire crew by the end of production but it's also got some funny as hell moments throughout.

Peter Stormare speaking crappy German and the Sam Rockwell & Peter Dinklage interviews were laugh out loud hilarious!

5 for 5!

This doesn't seem to be a real documentary as far as I can tell. It's just a bunch of badly edited video tape footage. If you're looking for a documentary about film making or selling a film you've made, go somewhere else. The fact that this thing didn't have a UPC# made even the package seem like a non-legit doc. I watch a lot of documentaries and don't even consider this a real documentary. Sorry. I feel bad since I bought it directly from the film makers but it's just not something people need to buy.

I'm a person who like to find redeeming features with anything. This was really hard.. I like offbeat stuff, stuff on filmmaking, etc.. But this was....


Words do not come to express the negative, boredom, and darkness and where are you going with this... (oh! No where!)..


Umm.. something really good is "FilmSchool" Its about a bunch of trainwrecks too.. but at least watching those people suffer didn't make me suffer.. it actually entertained.

I bought this thinking it was about filmmaking. The description said it dealt with distribution. The only things about distribution in the film are a bunch of emails which somewhere it says may be fictionalized. They offer little knowledge about distribution.

The majority of this film consists of actors, and crew members using more profanity than necessary to pass the time between takes or in going from place to place, while working on the movie 13 Moons.

The most interesting thing I learned was when in the beginning an actor said he would stay in the John for half an hour so as to get overtime.

The are about 7 minutes out of 90 or so where someone actually says something about filmmaking that is of interest.

At times the background scenery was more impressive than what was going on onscreen. They fixed that by going to Black and White or Sepia so you couldn't see the pretty scenery.

I'm a Steve Buscemi fan. He is mentioned on the case. Unfortunately he provides very little of the content of this, and what he does provide is just a shot of him making a comment or two while he waits for a scene to end.

There is one funny scene. This guy is driving an actor with a small part to the trailers. He tells the actor he has his own trailer. The actor believes him. They get to the trailers. No the guy says, you're in a trailer with 12 units.

If this was the best of what they shot about the making of 13 Moons, I hate to think about what might have been cut out. I pity the poor editor who had to wade through this dross.

If you are filmmaker, perhaps you should purchase this just for the name of the L.A. Times reporter who wrote the blurb on the back of the case. The guy wrote a positive review of this, so if your movie is really bad he might do the same for you.
