After Steven Spielberg’s classic
Raiders of the Lost Ark was released 35 years ago, three 11-year-old
boys from Mississippi set out on what would become a 7-year-long
labor of love and tribute to their favorite film: a faithful,
shot-for-shot adaptation of the action adventure film, which the New
York Times calls “a testament to the transporting power of movie
love.” They finished every scene…except one; the film’s
explosive airplane set piece.

Over two decades later, the trio
reunited with the original cast members from their childhood in order
to complete their masterpiece in what IGN has dubbed “the
Boyhood of fan movies.” Featuring interviews with John Rhys
Davies, Eli Roth and more, Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan
Film Ever Made is just that: the story of this long-gestating
project’s culmination, chronicling the friends’ dedication to their
artistic vision-mixed in with some movie magic-to create a personal,
epic love letter to a true modern classic, in “a triumphant,
feel-good documentary of the highest caliber that dares you to dream”
(Cut Print Film).

Tim Skousen & Jeremy Coon’s
critically-acclaimed documentary (Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes
with a 93% rating and an Audience Score of 92%) premiered at SXSW in
2015 and enjoyed a healthy festival campaign before it’s debut in
theaters and On Demand. At the same time, film subjects Chris

Dreams Tour (co-sponsored by Drafthouse Films, Fatboy, Roadtrippers
and Last Exit to Nowhere), presenting Skousen and Coon’s film
alongside their rarely-screened Adaptation, which will continue into
September.
