Cinema Epoch releases the documentary A Boy, A Girl & A Camera online for free via Vimeo. The film features interviews with filmmakers Sean Cain (Jurassic City, Silent Night Zombie Night), Ryan Nicholson (Gutterballs, The Profane Exhibit) and James Cullen Bressack (Blood Lake, Hate Crime, 13/13/13), actress Tommie Vegas (Albert Pyun's The Interrogation of Cheryl Cooper), PollyGrind Film Festival director Chad Clinton Freeman, HorrorHound Magazine film critic Thomas Gleba, new footage with actor Kevin Gage (Michael Mann's Heat, Ridley Scott's G.I. Jane) and much more.

What started with a girl, a digital camcorder and 45 bucks turned into one of cinema's most notorious underground trilogies. Shane Ryan's Amateur Porn Star Killer, shot one random evening a decade ago, quickly put him on the map as a transgressive controversial no-budget madman willing to go through any lengths, and put his actors through any situation, to get a movie made. Despite having no budgets whatsoever (the sequels reportedly cost $20 and $10 to produce) people kept flocking to see them, act in them, discuss them, debate them, ban them, and so on. They've been used in lectures by professors at universities, written up in a dozen published books, and still to this day keep playing the festival circuit (in a couple weeks two of the films make their Switzerland premieres).

Everyone from the famous porn star, like Joanna Angel (of Burning Angel) and Tommy Pistol (host of the upcoming AVN awards), to Hollywood character actors like Kevin Gage, or cult directors such as Albert Pyun (Cyborg, Captain America, Nemesis) have quickly cast or been cast by Ryan, regardless of lack of budget and a reputation for the graphic content and subject matter he's always so eager to explore. Even though Ryan claims to be penniless having never profited a single dollar over all of these years, he keeps pushing the films out, and the fans keep supporting him, even if the mainstream indie audience has yet to, if ever, catch on.

A Boy, A Girl & A Camera spends most of its 48 minute running time speaking with critics and fans, showcasing Ryan's progress from the first APSK to his current films, including the release last week of his true crime inspired My Name is 'A' by anonymous, about 'thrill killer' Alyssa Bustamante. The doc is also an extra feature on the newly released limited box set Amateur Porn Star Killer: The Complete Collection, which features the entire trilogy, as well as exclusive interviews with Ryan (which the doc is almost completely void of) and brand new commentary tracks.
