    FRIDAY 28 AUGUST
    12.00 BEST WORST MOVIE (UK Premiere)

    Michael Stephenson’s documentary on the US cult of TROLL 2, considered the worst movie ever made, is a consistently funny delight. Stephenson was a child actor when he appeared in director Claudio Fragasso’s wildly incompetent TROLL 2 and was amazed to learn it had become a fan-boy favourite. So too was dentist George Hardy who, in 1989, answered a casting call to star in the low budget horror. Their journey to learn why this exercise in ineptitude touched the soul of Nerd Nation is strangely moving and hilarious.

It is JPEG Film’s intention to take the project as far as possible with the winner, with the prospect of them even writing the whole script. But whatever happens the winner will secure a screen credit should the process get to production stage.
