A VERY IMPORTANT FILM
A VERY IMPORTANT FILM is a very important piece of cinematic work which delves into the heart and mind of a ONCE unimportant filmmaker named Clarissa Jacobson who made a dreadfully unimportant film called Lunch Ladies. Ms. Jacobson, disturbed at her former naivety in filmmaking, embarked on an awe-inspiring, astonishing, remarkable journey into becoming a very important filmmaker/auteur. This astounding documentary will not only deeply touch you, but it will make you laugh, cry and single-handedly change the way you think about the importance of being a very important filmmaker. A must watch.
