The film tracks the triumphant rise of Hollywood’s most prolific writer-director producer, the true “godfather” of independent filmmaking. While known for working fast, some of his films were made in two days, and wallowing in the B-movie world of monsters, bad special effects, schlocky acting, and plentiful nudity, Roger Corman is also a respected rebel of cinema. He dealt with hot-button social topics like race and feminism. He created his own production and distribution company, and he taught the next generation of film greats, including Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, Francis Ford Coppola, even Ron Howard. From Corman’s first 1955 feature to the set of his new film, Dinoshark, this entertaining documentary has all the blood and guts of Corman’s lurid and fascinating career.
