Hudgens clearly loves the fan film community and understands what they sacrifice to produce a fan film.

About a 101 suggestions for fan films to see and some remarkable stories of copyright breaching wonder. Fan fiction seems like a bigger world than fan films, and yet fan films brings a level of craziness far greater. Casts and crews dedicated to replicating and extending fictional universes beyond big budgets. Dodgy makeup and dodgier effects. And surprisingly good effects. And great stories. And hilarious parodies. This doco has it all.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
