‘Remi Milligan: Lost Director’ by Sam Lodato is a remarkably entertaining feature film which not only follows the mysterious loss of indie maverick director Remi Milligan but also introduces us to a collection of his work. Through interviews with friends, family and co-workers, the intrigue surrounding Remi’s sudden disappearance unravels before us as we are also witness to a promising career which was cut prematurely short. Mockumentaires are a hard nut to crack but Samuel does so with the true spirit of an independent filmmaker who is able to gently mock and satirise the industry whilst paying homage to some of the great films in history.
It is truly a film which needs to be seen to be believed and will be screening at the upcoming Hastings Rocks on the 13th of April at 4pm followed by an exclusive Q&A with the filmmakers.
Docufiction looking at the life and films of Remi Milligan – a little-known amateur filmmaker of trashy b-movies who disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 2006.
