The movie synopsis reads:

A crew of documentarians chronicle an amateur filmmaker’s quest to make the world’s greatest found footage horror film.

Max Tzannes has this to say:

Dirty Shot Clean was thrilled to collaborate with filmmakers whose genre-bending movies have had such a profound influence on our work […] We wanted to tell a story that celebrates and subverts the found footage tropes we all know and love, while also poking fun at the terrifying experience of making an independent horror film.

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Radio Silence) add:

It’s a true challenge to innovate within a well-worn subgenre but the gents at Dirty Shot Clean have created something truly original, hilarious, scary and full of heart […] It’s a send-up of our favorite found footage tropes and a love letter to the process of indie filmmaking. We’re so honored to be a very tiny part of bringing this one to the masses.
