#670 - Mockbuster director Anthony Frith (2026 Sydney Film Festival)

About this episode

Anthony Frith discusses his documentary Mockbuster and the challenges of filmmaking on a tight schedule.

Anthony Frith joins Matthew Pejkovic on the Matt's Movie Reviews Podcast to talk about his new movie Mockbuster, a documentary that chronicles Anthony's last ditch effort to direct a feature film when he agrees to take on a project produced by the legendary trash movie house The Asylum. The catch: Anthony has six days to shoot a dinosaur film in suburban Adelaide on a shoestring budget.
