Wisconsin's movie is...

American Movie

The unintended laughs (and pains) experienced by struggling Milwaukee filmmaker Mark Borchardt are the subject of this documentary, which incidentally earned rave reviews from critics – even if Borchardt’s movie-within-a-movie, a short film entitled Coven, doesn’t. And though it’s set in the land where people wear hats shaped like Swiss cheese, this hilarious, affecting film is really a microcosmic look at the blood, sweat, and tears shed by that ever suffering creature of art: the independent filmmaker. Cheeseheads, be proud.
