Trailer For an Odd Doc about a Filmmaker Who Attempts to Make His Dream Movie, Which Is an Elf and Human Love Story
I’ve got a fascinatingly funny trailer for you to watch today for a new documentary called The Insufferable Groo. This film follows a Utah-based filmmaker named Stephen Groo as he embarks on a journey to make his dream movie.
That movie is called Unexpected Race, and it’s a “drama between a mother, a father, a daughter, and then an elf.” By the way, this is not a mockumentary! This is a real documentary about a real filmmaker that you’ve never heard of until now. He’s made over 166 movies in 17 years and as you might expect, they aren’t the best quality films, but they guy just keeps pumping them out!
This guy is a little crazy and odd, and he’s seriously cut from the same cloth as someone like Tommy Wiseau. That’s not a bad thing! The guy certainly has passion and isn’t giving up on his dream!
The trailer comes to us from /film and this is the synopsis:
“THE INSUFFERABLE GROO follows filmmaker Stephen Groo, age 41, a self-proclaimed auteur, narrowing in on his 200th film in 20 years. His oeuvre of outlandishly awful genre films has managed to attract admirers like Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess and Jack Black, but the Utah-based director has never made a dime off of his work, leaving his wife to provide for their family of four small boys. As Groo attempts to make his latest opus, an elf/human love story, his narcissism threatens to prove his undoing in this entertaining look at low-budget guerrilla filmmaking.”
Jack Black and Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) are also involved with the documentary and they are helping Groo make his dream a reality.
The Insufferable Groo comes to theaters this December and arrives on VOD on December 14, 2018.
