IF YOU CAN'T BEAT HOLLYWOOD, KNOCK IT OFF.

A struggling filmmaker's opportunity collides with chaos and compromise when Sharknado's notorious studio, The Asylum, invites him to direct a "mockbuster" with six days and a micro budget.

A comedic behind-the-scenes documentary about the uneasy balance between low-budget filmmaking and creative ambition, following Australian director Anthony Frith as he attempts to make a lost-world dinosaur epic for the studio behind "Sharknado" in just six days. World premiering at the Adelaide Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Feature Documentary, this is a film that pulls back the curtain on a corner of the industry rarely shown with this much access.
