It all started when…
Director/Producer Toby Brusseau was searching the web and came across an article about a flat-Earther who was launching himself in a homemade rocket to prove the Earth was flat. It gave him a chance to produce something similar to one of his favorite Chris Smith documentaries, American Movie. He made some calls, partnered with long-time collaborator Michael Linn, and one month later they were filming ‘Mad Mike’ Hughes and friends in the California Desert.
