This is a well crafted documentary within a documentary that truly touches on the conceit, egos, and ridiculousness of how Hollywood Film Producers can act.
Zak Penn has obviously been there, done that, and he chooses some of the best film makers to help him bring the ridiculousness to life.
I've been in this business since the 80's, and quite frankly, it wasn't until the "sonar gal" jumped into the water that I realized that this was a carefully thought out mocumentary. The "real" film makers were totally convincing. There's a good reason for that. They have all been put in dangerous situations because some Hollywood Producer or Director put them there.
Since the beginning of film making, good people have lost their lives because some producer thought with his ego instead of good sense.
Good job Penn and Herzog! What a catharsis for great film makers who'd rather get a hairball then deal with a Hollywood type Producer that just got out of primary school...
