Not a total success, but still worth watching.

Some say this was similar to "This is Spinal Tap." I don't think so. It was a mockumentary but otherwise there's no comparison between the two. The focus was the making of a Biblical epic, and while these two filmmakers have no problem getting the finances, they run through so many troubles that the film turns out to be a real turkey. (Ranging from the Eve character not wanting to display nudity to a product placement scheme showing Moses holding a six pack of coke.)

This predates 'Living in Oblivion' (which is similar, and much better) but it was still a funny satire on Independent Filmmaking.
