I Was A Teenage Movie Maker - Don Glut’s Amateur Movies

This is a fun DVD documentary about the early days of fandom and amateur filmmaking, back when it was actually hard. 16 mm film was edited by splicing, there was no synced sound, and CGI was not even a dream yet. Don Glut was a hero to many of the Famous Monsters of Filmland readership, and it’s hard not to enjoy the enthusiasm he still brings to the work he did in his youth.

This DVD actually includes all of the short films he made throughout the 60’s and 70’s, with – ahem – unauthorized adaptations of characters like Superman, Spiderman and the Frankenstein Monster.
