We do get a lot of insight into what it was like working with Seaver now, in the beginning, and in between. The interviews in this one consist of a wide range of former and current Low Budget Pictures’ collaborators. This one doesn’t disappoint and even offers up an emotional side to the filmmaker that I have admired for some time. I’ve been collecting Seaver’s films for years and I couldn’t wait to explore how he got the ideas behind the films and how he got a start to his film-making career. I have been known to review cryptid docs from time to time but those are nothing like watching a doc centered around one of my favorite filmmakers. Zero Budget Heroes is one of the few documentaries that I truly look forward to checking out. Soon he had friends involved before maturing to the point that he had his own team of passionate friends that continue to work with him from project to project. **Spoiler Alert** The documentary explores the humble beginnings of indie filmmaker Chris Seaver that got his start when he took his grandparent’s video camera to make his own films. Thank you Zach for giving Chris the spotlight he truly deserves. I’m glad he did because it was one hell of a good time. At the time it wasn’t ready but once it was finished and was making it’s rounds on the festival circuit he was kind enough to send a message my way so I could check it out. I was quick to add Zach on Facebook and quickly messaged him about the film. It was on one of these occasions that I saw a post from him talking about Zach Olivares’ documentary Zero Budget Heroes. Over the years I’ve collected most, if not all, of his films and constantly visit his page to make sure something wasn’t announced that I had missed. I soon found him on social media and took a deep dive into his Warlock Home Video releases. This was my introduction into the wild world of Low Budget Pictures and the genius mind of Chris Seaver. I saw Debbie Rochon on the cover and when I flipped it around I was sold on the titles and their synopsis. I purchased the Ghoul School four film collection from Brentwood Entertainment. Many years ago, almost decades now, I snagged my first Chris Seaver film.
