Sony Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of 'American Movie' with a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Coming October 15
Posted Fri Aug 9, 2024 at 08:49 AM PDT by Tom Landy
Sony has just announced that the hit 1999 comedy/documentary American Movie will be getting a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 15.
The hit of the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, AMERICAN MOVIE is the hilarious and intense story of one man's obsession to make movies. Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, is a long way from Hollywood, but Mark Borchardt has a dream. Armed with a driving ambition and nothing to lose, the fast-talking Borchardt enlists friends, local thespians and unwilling family members to help him finish his no-budget horror film, COVEN. The camera doesn't flinch as it captures every emotional crisis and financial pitfall in his two-year odyssey. What emerges is a bizarre, yet surprisingly heartfelt, documentary portrait of a true American character.
