It's the only reality series I've actually watched in its entirety. Especially since I'm very interested in the behind-the-scenes type stuff of making movies, this is an engaging series. My only complaint is that the producers slapped on the happy ending. They finally took the film to Sundance, and the response from
everyone seemed to be very favorable. Everyone involved in the production started giving each other high fives and hugging each other and saying how great the film was. In reality, the film wasn't well received. The actors complaint about Pete Jones's inexperience at directing. Pete Jones complaint that Miramax didn't give the film a chance in theaters. It made less than a few hundred thousand dollars at the box office. Most of the people involved in the production, in hindsight, thought the film "sucked".
