I saw this before Jay. I LOVE fan films. There are a ton of them out there and I keep a special collection of them.

Some other of my favorites are

Broken Alliegiance
Grayson
Dark Redemption
Duality
Batman: Dead End

Most based on Star Wars but also some popular fan fiction as well. The people that make fan films are folks that make movies in full knowledge that they can't sell it. So the one defining motivation for these little gems are for the pure love of movie making. That's what I think is great about these.
