Trivia:
This entire film was a mockumentary that was advertised as an unauthorized bio of reclusive director M. Night Shyamalan. After going as far as Shyamalan reporting to the press that he was upset about the release of this film, many fans and journalists became upset when they later learned it was all a hoax. The Sci-Fi channel released an apology a few days before release for their campaign strategies.

A real documentary on Shyamalan would have been interesting, unfortunately this is nothing more that a badly done parody of some of Shyamalan's work feeding into the 'mysticism' of his movies. Fine for what it is but it's sad that SciFi passed this off as a real documentary instead of a commercial for the Village/Shyamalan (but I guess that is on par for a channel that passes off that fraud John Edwards as anything more than a bad circus act.)
Think 'This is Spinal Tap' without any of the wit, humor or even decent acting.
