Tatooine or Bust

Tatooine or Bust was one of the first documentaries shot on digital video.

It was covered by NBC, CBS, BBC, ARTE, FilmThreat, Wired, and Newsweek – written about in books (but not blogs because those didn’t exist yet) – screened at Lucasfilm – picked up by British television (who commissioned a sequel) – and paid for by selling off my childhood toys.

We spent time with them. We were accepted into their cuture and allowed to approach them. We asked what they might do if Episode I happened to... you know, suck... which it certainly would not. Or, so we thought.

Commissioned by Channel 4 UK.

For a while, one of the most viewed live action films on the entire Internet. But that was in 2001.
