No budget. No plan. No problem.
CTV is stoked to bring you Fubar (2002)—the cult Canadian mockumentary that’s equal parts headbanger comedy, heartfelt bromance, and DIY filmmaking inspiration.
Shot on handheld cameras for the price of a used pickup truck, Fubar follows lifelong metalheads Terry and Dean as they crush beers, chase dreams, and face life’s big questions—like, “What if you never grew up?” and “How many beers is too many?” With a documentary-style setup and completely improvised dialogue, Fubar feels like you're watching real dudes stumble into fictional chaos—and that’s exactly the point.
This film is a love letter to low-budget creativity. With nothing but a camera, some wigs, and the power of friendship, director Michael Dowse and his cast of real-life pals made a film that became a festival hit, a national treasure in Canada, and a blueprint for what micro-indie filmmaking can be: raw, funny, and unforgettable.
In Eugene’s growing DIY film scene—where art happens in garages, backyards, and dive bars—Fubar is more than a cult classic. It’s an instructional manual.
If you’ve ever dreamed of making movies with your friends, come see what happens when someone actually does.
