Surprised I haven't seen any mention of this mini-series here.

It's a 6-episode faux-reality series on IFC (each episode is only 15 minutes) about a guy hitting the film festival circuit with his self-made movie. It's pretty fun to watch, although there are many times where it tries way too hard to either A: be funny, or B: push the storyline along.

For example, the festival he enters his film in is called "MUFF" (Mountain United Film Festival). I thought that was kinda ghey. At one point in the series, the guys print gets lost. Then the projector breaks. Then it gets stolen. All pretty far-fetched. In fact, there are a few points on it that are just absurd and you almost want to turn it off, but the subject matter is so entertaining it's worth sticking with for another 15 minutes. If, for nothing else, to catch the scenes where they talk about the filmmaker's lesbian friend's movie called "My Vagina Scares You."

Anyone else catch this? It's not like IFC won't be re-airing it a zillion times.
