Copycat is a 2015 documentary short film by Charlie Shackleton.[1]
Summary
edit1989: 19 year-old filmmaker Rolfe Kanefsky gathered $100,000 to make There's Nothing Out There, an early example of a meta-horror film. A decade later, it tanked at the box office despite critical acclaim. Then, suddenly... Rolfe gave a copy of the film to Jonathan Craven, a young executive who is also the son of famed film director Wes Craven (who would later create the box office hit Scream, which is eerily similar to There's Nothing Out There).[2][3][4][5]
