I enjoy watching fan-made films, hell I've made a few fan-made films myself with my friends over the years! They're just fun to make, and it's great practice for anyone interested in getting into a filmmaking. One of the first fan-films I ever saw that just blew me away was Sandy Collora's Batman: Dead End. I still watch it from time to time, and think how awesome of a movie that would make. Since then we've seen a ton of great fan-films over the years. People spend their own hard earned money and time to make something because they love it, not because they expect to make a profit from it.
John E. Hudgens has made a great looking documentary called Backyard Blockbusters that explores the history and world of fan-films. It dives into the passion of the fans, and how some Hollywood studios have tried to shut them down.
