A true story based upon a lie. Tom Paulson, a fledging baseball superstar suffers an injury and is forced to quit. Never to be held down, he follows his creative heart to the heart of Hollywood, where he scores a much sought after position with a large movie studio. But it doesn't turn out to be all the glitter he was expecting. Just three years in, Tom leaves his cushy corporate job in Hollywood to pursue his own venture as a independent filmmaker. During the shoot, changes occur and things happen that result his funding being reneged. But he must finish the film. Tom begs and borrows to complete the picture, but to little avail. Viewers give tons of feedback, telling Tom that the film is "interesting," but still offer up little cash. As a last ditch effort, Tom sells his baseball card collection and heads East through the desert... His story ends in a Vegas hotel room. ## Images ![They Shoot Movies, Don't They? ...The Making of Mirage [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5143S7QS69L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining film - had me wondering. *by P***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2008* NOTE: Don't read this if you want to be surprised by the movie!Judging by the overall reviews of this, you will either love or hate this movie. I saw this movie on IFC without having heard about it previously, and found it very engaging and entertaining. Prior to and especially after the last scene, I was motivated to research the movie online. Unfortunately, by reading this and other reviews, you will lose any element of surprise. This may affect your enjoyment and perception of the movie.Regarding the other reviewer's criticisms:- "It is completely unbelievable": I have seen many non-business savvy people get in over their heads, much like the character in this movie. Yes, he was a train wreck, but not beyond people I have seen in reality. If a documentary like "King of Kong" is real, this movie is definitely believable.- "film that lacks all ... humor ...": I don't think this film was meant to funny, although there is a sort of dark humor throughout. If you wanted humor you went to the wrong movie. It is still engaging.Didn't give it a five...not close to being a favorite movie, but I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't know about much about the movie before seeing it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it. *by M***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2006* I loved this movie! Never before have I felt compelled to write a letter like this, but I've gotta tell you these guys are frickin' geniuses! I was so taken in by the whole thing, I couldn't get to sleep until I did further research about the project/Tom. The back story was really digging at me and damn if they didn't cover all the bases! I went to the website, and even to IMDB, it took me awhile to find the truth, but they got me! They definitely have put together a masterpiece and I truly have nothing but the utmost respect for what they've accomplished here. Although I spent most of the morning praying for the poor boys' soul, I can honestly say I will recommend this movie to EVERYONE, (which I have all day), and I'll let them figure it out. This movie has instilled in me, a new desire to complete my own unfinished projects and although I truly believe that I'll never be able to reach the artistic heights that these film makers have, it will be something that I will strive for. This movie is the "Goal Post"! Thank you!!!!! ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars This isn't a movie, it's a stunt *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2008* SPOILERS!!!Initially engaging for first few minutes, this quasi "documentary" about a young Hollywood hot-shot's attempt to scrounge up funding to finish his highly personal film might have seemed relevant in late Sixties/early Seventies. Today, just a big head-scratcher that will quickly leave canny viewers wondering why anyone in Hollywood today would pay the slightest bit of attention to hero's sad-sack dream project--a partially finished zip-budget indie with zero commercial potential. Why would anyone bother documenting the backstory of such a miserably under-financed fiasco? Why aren't we ever shown any footage from this thwarted masterpiece? Why do all the talking heads in the movies look suspiciously like aging film school/drama students? And why. . .?Suddenly, floating lightbulb time! It's all a put-on. . .but a not very interesting one as repetitive scene-after-scene documents the fictional filmmaker's efforts to scare up money from similarly strapped friends and associates. Long before the ludicrous "shock" payoff scene in Vegas (and subsequently far-fetched "ironic" coda), anyone remotely familiar with movie biz will probably realize they're the ones getting the business.Documentary/schmockumentary. What might have been a clever short subject or even a comic "mockumentary" is every bit as non-commercial and uninvolving as the fictional protagonist's doomed brainchild.Too bad it's necessary to sit through this boring shenanigan in order to fully appreciate the fantastic commentary track, in which the gonzo filmmakers reveal--or purport to reveal (Did what they're saying really happen either? Who knows--but it's fascinating.)--all the hoops they had to jump through in order to foist this stunt on the industry and the public. That's the movie they should have shot. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/40397319-they-shoot-movies-dont-they-the-making-of-mirage-dvd](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/40397319-they-shoot-movies-dont-they-the-making-of-mirage-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
