Summary

1989: 19 year-old filmmaker Rolfe Kanefsky gathered $100,000 to make There's Nothing Out There, an early example of a meta-horror film. A decade later, it tanked at the box office despite critical acclaim. Rolfe later gave a copy of the film to Jonathan Craven, a young executive who is also the son of famed film director Wes Craven (who would later create the box office hit Scream , which is eerily similar to There's Nothing Out There).
