20 SXSW Films You Need To Know About

11. Raiders! The Story Of The Greatest Fan Film Ever Made

Raiders The Story Of The Greatest Fan Film Ever Made
Jeremy Coon Productions

A documentary several decades in the making, about a film that took nearly as long to make. Finally seeing the light of day, Raiders! chronicles the pain-staking work done by three friends to remake the first Indiana Jones film.

Only they didn't have $18 million and Harrison Ford - they had $5000 and each other. A charming tale of fandom, creativity and friendship, Raiders! already looks set to be the festival's break-out hit.
