The ultimate 'meta movie', DIRECTOR'S CUT is an insane, cinematic sleight of hand trick that reflects on itself, much like the stage persona of its co-star and creator, world famous illusionist Penn Jillette. Here, teamed with acclaimed Director Adam Rifkin, Jillette conjures a mind bending, genre-defying movie-within-a-movie mash-up that's part narrative thriller, part docu-mental-case. Starring Missi Pyle, DIRECTOR'S CUT is about a cineaste stalker who kidnaps his favorite actress and forces her to star in his amateur movie. The madness that unspools behind the scenes will leave you reeling.

  • This film is one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. The levels of meta made this one of the best viewing experiences I've had recently. If you appreciate film making, B films, self referential comedy and so much more this film is for you!!!

  • Director's cut is such a great satire of film crowd funding. This movie does two things teaches you filmmaking techniques as well as, term names for shots, and it shows a behind the scenes of the movie making process. This movie is a theatre going experience that must be seen with an audience that gets the dark humor.

  • I had a chance to watch the film last night and I was glad that I did. The film is unique in it's perspective and storytelling. The story is not hard to follow but very much intelligent and witty. It is hard to describe but the movie makes you feel like you are physically there somehow, like you are observing everything as a knowing bi-stander. I would absolutely recommend you see it!

  • Directors Cut is a unique endeavour that it never outstays its welcome, despite the seemingly limiting storytelling device.

  • An extraordinarily clever - yet wickedly accessible - exercise in runaway metafiction ...

  • a hilarious mix of production observation, movie-making incompetence, and unhinged self-implication into an art that always needs outsider input to renew itself.
