My fellow found footage fans are loyal supporters of the genre, and they work hard to find newer and obscure titles they've never seen. They're some of the most dedicated film fans I've seen, and I appreciate the way they support so many independent filmmaker voices.
So I decided to make this series as a thank you. It's many things: a recommendation series, an interview show of found footage filmmakers, and a deep dive into the history, significance, and staying power of the world's youngest and most versatile film genre.
Every episode focuses on a specific subgenre of found footage/fake documentary, and I hope it helps fellow found footage fans find more amazing films they've never seen will enjoy. Thanks to you all for supporting these films and filmmakers!

This is a really interesting take on the found footage style film. It's technically a POV film, but the POV is a seemingly inanimate object for most of the movie.
It's definitely unique within the genre, and the performances and tension were really well executed. It's a delicate balance because especially the lead role could easily go too broad and become silly, but there's a commitment to the central premise of the story that makes it work. Also, the dynamic between the husband and wife is fraut with really effective tension and anxiety.
I had a really good time with this one and will be interested to see what these brothers make next.

I caught this on YouTube after speaking briefly with the director in a found footage Facebook group. The film is in the vein of paranormal investigation found footage films, halfway between Paranormal Activity and Grave Encounters. The lead performance is solid, and there's a lot of interesting lore built up around the central mystery of the Bagma character. There are moments that are undeniably creepy, but the low budget shows itself most in the moments where visual f/x are used in post. It's an ambitious and impressive undertaking for a first-time filmmaker, especially to execute with a single performer.
