Covering five years of him trying to get his independent film projects off the ground, film maker Justin McConnell captures in this doc every painful moment it takes to get the greenlight for production, from investors parting ways at the last minute due to not having a big name film maker attached, to attending showcases with 100's of other film makers, in the hope of enticing one producer to support their film.
Focusing on indie film making in Horror, McConnell gathers a fantastic group of film makers,actors and producers to discuss the difficulties of getting indie Horror productions rolling, from one of the last ever interviews George Romero did, to Guillermo del Toro on bringing his most personal movies to the big screen.
