    Twenty-five years after starring in the hit 90s film Smoke Signals, Cody Lightning directs and stars in this uproarious mockumentary about a fictionalized version of himself attempting to make a sequel. When a mysterious fan offers a full budget for the film, Cody jumps at the chance, promising the full participation of the original cast. The only thing standing in his way is the small fact that the entire original cast hates him. A refreshing and occasionally raunchy comedy, this charming underdog story is a great movie about how to make a terrible one. 2023. 102 min. English with French subtitles.

    Vingt-cinq ans après avoir joué dans le film à succès des années 90, Le secret des cendres (Smoke Signals), Cody Lightning réalise et joue dans ce faux documentaire hilarant qui raconte la tentative d'une version fictive de lui-même qui veut tourner une suite au film. Lorsqu'un mystérieux fan lui offre la totalité du budget pour le film, Cody saute sur l'occasion, promettant la participation totale de la distribution originale. La seule chose qui lui barre la route est le fait que toute la distribution originale du film le déteste. Cette comédie rafraîchissante et parfois grinçante, qui raconte l'histoire d'un anti-héros, est un excellent film sur comment faire un mauvais film. 2023. 102 min. Anglais avec sous-titres français.
