About This Movie

Frogtown News is a fascinating peek into the world of Zen Filmmaking, crafted by Scott Shaw. This documentary isn’t just a collection of interviews, it’s a real vibe. Shaw brings together names like Donald G. Jackson and Julie Strain, capturing candid moments at the American Film Markets from '97 and '98. The pacing can feel laid-back, almost meditatively slow at times, but that adds to the introspective quality. There’s a rawness to the footage, a kind of unpolished charm that reflects the ethos of the filmmakers. The insights shared, the discussions around creativity, they linger with you. It’s a niche topic but if you get into it, you’ll find a lot of depth beneath its surface.

Great for those interested in independent filmmaking.Offers a unique perspective on the creative process.Captures the essence of film markets from the late 90s.
