About Historical Film
In order to pass a history class and save his student visa, Caleb Shatar must earn extra credit by starring in his eccentric history professor’s no-budget film about the death of John Wilkes Booth led by an ex-con and passionate reenactor. Over the course of a long weekend, the three men go on an odyssey to recreate the manhunt for Lincoln’s assassin with a camcorder, fake mustaches, and conflicting beliefs about the American Dream.
Directed by Will Bryan, Historical Film leans on a strong ensemble — Zana Gankhuyag, Joseph Carlson, Gregg Turkington — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 0.
