First Feature

Film Synopsis

First Feature follows intrepid student filmmaker Thomas Reilly-King (TRK) in this comedic and heartfelt documentary inspired by such classics as American Movie, Best Worst Movie, and Kid Icarus. In the tradition of those films, First Feature follows an eccentric artist following his dreams and unwavering dedication to making his first feature film: Enduring Destiny. TRK works four jobs to pay for production, rerecords all the film’s dialogue, writes an 80s-inspired theme song, and even makes action figures for his character. First Feature explores the relationship between the documentary filmmaker and their subject as we look back at this time in their lives and see what happens ten years after telling someone’s story.
