    The Hunt for Golem..

    .. is an independent film by Chris Bouchard made on a budget of $3000!

    Check it out, it's only 40 minutes but pretty incredible giving the tiny budget

    I really enjoyed this film - it didn't seem 40 minutes long though!

    Very impressive, especially given the budget.

    Re: The Hunt for Golem..

    They guy was interviewed on Nemone's show on 6Music earlier (will be on listen again if you are interested. It was between 13:30 and 14:00 so about half an hour into the show.

    I love the idea and it sounds really good. I will have to make a point to watch this. She also mentioned a few other fan pieces that I'd not heard of, i think there are links on her pages of the 6Music site.

    Re: The Hunt for Golem..

    Hey thanks for that, just listening to it on the iplayer as i type.

    I wonder how many people will miss out on this gem? Suffice to say, if your into Lord of the Rings or Tolkien, this is essential viewing

    I'm going to try and watch it now, assuming this BT connection dares to stay online for more than 5 minutes at a time!

    Wow, that was quite phenomenal considering the budget. 10/10 for effort. Where was it shot?
