Writer/Director/Producer: Scott Spencer

1) Why did you make this video?

"It was my entry to the CampusMovieFest, a great competition that gives college students a camera, an Apple laptop, and one week's time to make a five minute movie from start to finish. The film ended up winning 2005's Atlanta regional competition, defeating hundreds of other
teams."

2) Who should watch it?

"The film is a solid comedy on its own, but anyone that's suffered through watching a bad student film will really appreciate the parodies found in 'What Mocks a Good Movie.' LEGO fanatics, stop-motion animation fans, and the cult followers of Adult Swim's 'Robot Chicken' will enjoy the project too."

3) Money, fame, power - which do you hope this video brings?

"Perhaps all three someday? The hardest part about working in film or television is getting your foot in the door. I think that writing/directing this movie and investing 52 hours over one week to film it should prove I've got talent and drive. Now I just need the right opportunity."

4) What's next (from you, the video creator)?

"I finished my Mechanical Engineering degree at Georgia Tech last year, deferred admission to law school, and have recently been working on the sets of various movies and TV shows. I'd be happy to answer questions about this film and fan mail would be awesome so email me at scott.d.spencer@gmail.com."
