Once-promising South Australian filmmaker Anthony Frith, now languishing in the world of corporate video, brazenly pitches himself to Hollywood's kings of B-movie schlock, The Asylum, and somehow lands the gig. The studio behind 'Sharknado' (2013)(motto: 'shitty movies for people with bad taste') hires him to direct 'The Land That Time Forgot' (2025), a lost-world dinosaur epic to be shot in suburban Adelaide on a six-day schedule and a shoestring budget. Scorsese, Coppola and Demme all got their starts with this kind of movie, so why not? But Anthony has another camera rolling too - he is also directing the behind-the-scenes documentary, capturing the chaos and compromise of full-blown exploitation filmmaking. Between demanding LA executives, a game but bewildered cast, and his own creeping self-doubt, the pressure builds. Mockbuster is an unexpectedly tender documentary about chasing the dream through the absurd hustle of genre filmmaking, but finding a different kind of success behind the scenes.
