In Western New York, the city of Buffalo has become a hive of filmmaking ambition and a destination for big-budget studio productions.
From the very first movie theater in the US, to the filming of The Natural and Buffalo 66, to a 21st-century boom in grassroots independent cinema, Buffalo is full of local talent, and Hollywood is taking notice.
Featuring interviews with filmmakers Greg Lamberson (Slime City), Lloyd Kaufman (creator of The Toxic Avenger), Debbie Rochon (Model Hunger), Sam Qualiana (Snow Shark) and actors Lynn Lowry(Shivers), Paul McGinnis (Killer Rack) and more!
Directed by Adrian Esposito and Curt Markham.
