Long before YouTube, there were the outrageous, no-budget movies of underground,
filmmaking twins George and Mike Kuchar. In the early 1960's, alongside Andy
Warhol, the Kuchar brothers shaped the New York underground film scene. Known as the
"8mm Mozarts," their films were wildly funny, but also human and vulnerable.Their films
have inspired John Waters, Buck Henry, Atom Egoyan and Guy Maddin (all interviewed in
this film). The Kuchars remain largely unknown because they are only ambitious to make
movies, not to be famous. Affectionately directed by one of George's former students,
Jennifer M. Kroot, It Came From Kuchar will introduce you to two brothers who love to
make movies and continue to inspire others. USA, 2010, 86 min.
