Storyline

They Shoot Movies, Don't They? is a voyeuristic look at first time director Tom Paulson and the movie he wrote called Mirage.

They Shoot Movies, Don't They? offers a line-blurring examination of what one might give up, in order to succeed.

Well done

I thought it was well made and like most documentaries very interesting. It was certainly a relief to find out (thanks IMDb) it was not a real documentary, but who is to say it hasn't happened out there?

Trying to be creative in a business enviroment can destroy lives very easily, witness a lot of the people that self destruct themselves in the movie industry.
