film fanatic

today is the last day i will be attending the ny jewish film festival which ends tomorrow. one of the films i viewed today was "film fanatic" about a haredi guy in israel who put together a bunch of dvd movies on very frum themes and sold them to his haredi target market. these films were so 'low budget' that they were almost like home movies . dvds went where videos could not have because the haredi do not have tv sets, but apparently they do own computers! eventually , when this filmmaker realized he needed better monetary backing he actually made a film that others beside the yeshiva community might watch. still pretty kosher, but he employed chilonim to help out. film fanatic is two and a half stars out of a possible five. its entertaining, but not great. i wasnt totally convinced that the yeshivish community would welcome any type of films in to their homes like the movie made it seem.
