Navigating the current film business is more difficult than ever before. Rapidly changing technology and an overcrowded marketplace have led to an industry in which anyone can now make a film, but few can make a living.

Following five years in the life and career of independent filmmaker Justin McConnell (Lifechanger), this documentary explores the struggles of financing, attracting the right talent, working with practical effects and selling the finished product in the hope of turning a profit. Featuring interviews with a range of industry luminaries – including Guillermo del Toro (Crimson Peak), Sid Haig (Spider Baby), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator), Mick Garris ("The Stand"), Dick Miller (Matinee), Tom Holland (Fright Night) and George A. Romero (The Crazies), alongside a host of others – not only are technical aspects and interpersonal skills discussed but also the emotional stamina and little-known tips needed to survive in the low budget film industry.

A warts-and-all exploration of what it takes to get a film made and released, Clapboard Jungle serves as a survival guide for the modern independent filmmaker and offers a fascinating insight into a side of the industry with which few are likely to be familiar.

Zach Snyder’s Justice League Minireview (No Spoilers)

 Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a triumphant masterpiece of a film in the superhero genre that delivers everything one could have hoped for and brought tears of joy to my eyes at the same time. It would be unfair to compare this film to an Avengers film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe because the two are so different that it is like comparing apples to oranges. Both are good fruit, but you need to be in the mood for it just like anything else. Mr. Snyder’s soul is in this film and he dedicated the film to his daughter Autumn. I hope this brings as much comfort and redemption for the Snyder family as much as it has for his and his wife’s career. 

This film left me wanting more. It is four hours long, but it did not feel like it either. I hope somehow the other two Justice League films find their way to live action dramatization on the big screen. Everyone shines and Jared Leto’s Joker is redeemed in a fantastic dialogue exchange I hope to see more of. In the United States, you can watch it right now on HBO MAX as well as on big screen at IMAX theaters globally. It is well worth it.
