    Storyline

    Edit
    'Dave Made A Maze' re-imagines classic 80's adventure films with a modern comedic edge and a higher body count. Dave, an artist who has yet to complete anything significant in his career, builds a fort in his living room out of pure frustration, only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls, booby traps, and critters of his own creation. Ignoring his warnings, Dave's girlfriend Annie leads a band of oddball explorers on a rescue mission. The handmade fantasy world comes to life with puppetry, stop-motion animation, and in-camera optical illusions, re-igniting the tactile sense of wonder from the movies of our childhoods.

    • Trivia
      The movie initially utilized scrap cardboard from an American Apparel factory in LA. The producer thought they had more than enough to last the full length of the shoot. When they ran out three weeks later they found that the company was no longer willing to give their scrap away. Luckily, they were shooting next to Solar City, which was willing to let the crew dumpster dive for all of the cardboard they needed. The vast majority of the cardboard was returned to those same dumpsters for recycling. The production did not pay for any cardboard.
    • Quotes

      Dave: I wasn't striving for anything. I just wanted to make something. And I can't sit on my couch and watch t.v. or think that the internet is going to inspire me because I'm f***ing thirty years old. And my parents are still giving me money. And I bore the s**t out of them. And I work jobs that I hate that I have to beg to get. Do you know what it means to be broke? It means that you are broken. That you don't work.

    A Phantastic Movie That Deals With Human Imagination
    A guy buildts a mace of papier-mâché. Some friends come to this scenario and want him to leave his mace, but he would not, he could not. The friends are curious to put him out of his mace and follow him inside, which leads to some adventures for the group of friends in the mace. None of them expected how big the mace looks from inside and so the story enhances.

    We were stunned about the creativity of the makers, which demands strong capacity of imagination from the audience. It invites the audience to embark on it. Inside all looks bigger and a world of itself arises. How to help a friend out of a deadly mace without dying in it? We were completely tied to the screen by the effective work of the creatives of that movie. The whole idea is great. The cast fits very good, the script is ok - and the cam work looks appropriate. I recommend that movie, it's pretty good.
