In writing for S&A, I often find the "story" behind making films can be just as intriguing as the film itself. That's the case with first-time director Alex Stapleton and her documentary Corman's World: Exploits Of A Hollywood Rebel, an homage of sorts to the king of low budget filmmaking Roger Corman.

Roger Corman is considered "the king" of low budget films having created such cult classics as The Little Shop Of Horrors, Last Woman On Earth and Creature From The Haunted Sea among others. He also launched a large number of well-known directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard and Jonathan Demme. So how did first-time director Alex Stapleton get the "godfather" of indie cinema to co-sign on her documentary about him? Simple...she just asked!
