Cave Girl, A Second Journey Back in Time

About This Movie

Cave Girl, A Second Journey Back in Time is quite a curious piece. Directed by Daniel Roebuck and featuring David Hansen Sturm, this documentary takes you behind the scenes of what was Roebuck's first film—a teenage sex comedy that seems to have been lost in the ether of the 80s. The tone is surprisingly candid, as they delve into the chaos of its production, almost as if they’re reminiscing about a nostalgic disaster. The pacing meanders a bit, reflecting the uneven nature of the original film but it’s this very awkwardness that gives it character. Fans of film history will find the practical effects and performances a bit of a time capsule, capturing a moment that many would prefer to forget, yet it's this very exploration of failure that makes it distinctive.

Interesting look at indie filmmaking in the 80s.Great for collectors of obscure genre films.Offers insight into the creative process behind a failed project.
