Even if a producer/writer/director/actor is a fan of a particular genre, it can be hard for them to remain true to the fandom. Too often a film or genre is ruined by commercialism. There are too many cooks in the kitchen and too many things get changed.
I like fan films, I love seeing what an amateur can do without a studio and thousands of dollars behind them. Fan films are proof that you don’t need a massive special effects lab, or big name stars to make a good film.
This is where fan films come into play. A good fan film reflects the fandom it represents because they are done by those that love it and they have minimal interference from outside influence.
This Star Wars fan film by Stephen Vitale is a work of art and a true tribute to those that love the Star Wars Galaxy.
