Synopsis: Long before YouTube, there were the brilliantly insane, no-budget movies of underground, filmmaking twins George and Mike Kuchar. Ceating stars out of their friends and family with just consumer-grade cameras, the teenage Kuchar brothers went from the 1960's New York City underground film scene of Andy Warhol and Kenneth Anger to become the twin maestros of B-movie glamour and sleaze. In a mesmerizing stream-of-consciousness style, IT CAME FROM KUCHAR effortlessly interweaves nostalgic footage of 1950's New York, a "greatest hits" collection of Kuchar clips and present day interviews of an all-star lineup of fans including John Waters, Buck Henry, Atom Egoyan, Wayne Wang, Bill Griffith, Gerard Malanga, B. Ruby Rich and Guy Maddin. Both outrageous and lovable, George and Mike will inspire you to pick up a camera and start making movies. IT CAME FROM KUCHAR is a must see for lovers of film everywhere. This exclusive DVD contains over 45 minutes of Behind-the-Scenes footage packed with interviews, video clips and secrets of the fascinating and bizarre world of the Kuchar Brothers!

Review: I never thought we'd see a release like this.  The Kuchar Brothers have been infamous on the underground scene for decades.  The grass-roots art films that they made were campy, over the top and crazy.  They inspired such greats as John Waters, who makes an appearance on this film, and many others.   This is a great documentary on a very obscure and relatively unknown gem within the 'filmmaking as an art' industry!   I would almost call it Gonzo filmmaking.  

This is a great documentary.  I would recommend it to absolutely any and everyone.  Go pick it up today!
