For years, people have been making home movies, sometimes even using properties that they may not own, but love. In recent years, these types of projects have come to be known as "fanfilms." Backyard Blockbusters: Adventures in Fan Filmmaking will cover the history and influence of the fanfilm genre, as well as the copyright and fair use problems these films create.

Featuring interviews with fan filmmakers themselves, their fans, and those who actual control and/or create the original concepts these fans appropriate for their own projects.
