Worst Movie That You (thankfully) Never Saw

[Vilya]

In 2014, I had a small unpaid part in a very, very low budget movie that almost no one ever saw and that even I never got to see. Last night, however, I discovered that a tralier for it was on youtube. The movie is titled: Natural Born Filmmakers and the 2 and a half minute tralier can be endured here:

The most amusing thing, for me, is that part of my little scene made it into that trailer beginning at about 36 seconds and running until about the 1 minute 15 second mark.

I even have two acting credits on imdb.com as a result of my acting debut in this movie! All I can say is that my performance did nothing to help this movie and this movie did nothing to launch my career. Despite my bad acting, the day spent on the set was among the most fun that I have ever had.

Funnier still is that the entire 82 minute movie can be rented or purchased from vimeo:

And even I can not quite bring myself to pay to see it. If my whole scene survived intact, it is no more than 4-5 minutes of the movie. Again, I was not paid for being in it and I will never see a dime from it. My only reward came from the fun I had doing it and the memories that yet linger.

I have always maintained that I will not buy a digitally distributed movie, being the staunch pro physical media advocate that I am, but should I make an exception here? I can't help but wonder how much of my scene was used, especially now that at least part of it appears in the trailer.

If I owned a copy, I could make all those that know me personally suffer through it with me or I could be nice and let them escape with just having seen my clip from that trailer.

Or am I better off not knowing? If you had played a role in a movie such as this one, would you want to see it or would you rather just enjoy the fond memories of having been on the set? It was a damn lot of fun to do even if it is painfully embarrassing to watch now.
