The ghost of Hamlet's father orders him to kill his uncle, and the easily distracted prince makes up a bunch of excuses to avoid doing it.

Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank, the stars of AMERICAN MOVIE, host George Romero's classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD from lawn chairs parked in a suburban front yard on the northwest side of Milwaukee.

American Movie is the story of filmmaker Mark Borchardt, his mission, and his dream. Spanning over two years of intense struggle with his film, his family, financial decline, and spiritual crisis, American Movie is a portrayal of ambition, obsession, excess, and one man's quest for the American Dream.
