BEST WORST MOVIE

Wednesday, September 22 at 7:30pm

Live Skype Discussion with Filmmaker & Troll 2 star Michael Paul Stephenson

In 1989, a group of unknown Utah actors starred in what would
be crowned the worst movie of all time: Troll 2. After two
decades of running from this cinematic disaster, the cast can no
longer hide from the
legion of followers that
celebrate them for their
ineptitude. Best Worst
Movie, directed by
Troll 2âs once-disgraced
child star, Michael Paul
Stephenson, unravels
the stories of these
unforgettable real-life
characters and the
colorful army of
devotees who continue
to revel in the filmâs
perfectly flawed brilliance.
At the center
of this celebrated
documentary is the
improbable story of a
small-town Alabama
dentist-turned-cultmovie-
icon, and an Italian filmmaker who come to terms (or doesnât)
with his internationally revered cinematic failure. Best Worst Movie
is an affectionate and intoxicatingly fun tribute to the single
greatest bad movie ever made and the people responsible for
unleashing it on the world. The result is a hilarious and tender
offbeat journey that pays homage to lovers of bad movies and the
people who make them, while investigating a deeper story about
the strange nature of celebrity, the catharsis of redemption and the
humanity that exists in making even the worst movie ever made.
