As a die-hard horror enthusiast with a soft spot for found footage films, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I stumbled upon the news of “It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This” screening at select Alamo Drafthouse cinemas. Having grown up in the era where “The Blair Witch Project” and other found footage masterpieces redefined the genre, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for these experimental and unconventional films that push the boundaries of storytelling.
Being a film student myself, I’ve often dreamed of attending a live screening of such an innovative project, and this one-night-only event is an opportunity I couldn’t let pass me by. The fact that the filmmakers, Rachel Kempf and Nick Toti, are also co-directors and stars adds another layer of intrigue to the whole experience.
Having followed the film’s journey through various film festivals and live events, I can attest to its growing acclaim through word of mouth. The fact that it will only be released in select cities and not online is just another testament to the filmmakers’ commitment to their unconventional approach to distribution.
As a film student, I appreciate the risk they’re taking by going against traditional distributors who might have shied away from such an innovative strategy. It’s inspiring to see independent creators defy the odds and make a name for themselves in the horror genre.
I can only imagine the electric atmosphere at the Alamo Drafthouse theaters on January 10, as fans eagerly await the screening of this highly anticipated found footage film. If you’re a fan of risk-taking filmmakers and exploratory art that breaks the mold, I urge you to make every effort to attend one of the participating Alamo Drafthouse theaters on January 10.

Oh, and if you happen to catch a glimpse of me there, don’t be surprised if I’m the one hiding in the shadows with a camera in hand, trying to capture the magic for myself. After all, who knows? Maybe this film will inspire me to follow in their footsteps and create something truly unforgettable!

As reported by Bloody Disgusting, Toti mentioned that despite several distributors showing interest in buying and releasing the movie, the fear of the film It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This not going to streaming platforms following its theater release discouraged them.
Conventional distributors have shown an inclination towards our film, yet when we share our intent of not releasing it online, they seem to lose interest abruptly. It appears our approach lacks sound business logic, but given our small stature, we can afford to take unconventional paths in reaching out to our audience. We don’t have a marketing budget or financial obligations to investors, so we can be more daring in our connection strategies.
Is Found Footage Coming Back? It Sure Seems Like It
The innovative found-footage movie, titled “It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This“, is breathing new life into the underappreciated horror genre by adopting contemporary, specialized horror styles. Its trailer echoes the enigmatic and ambiguous storytelling that defines the burgeoning analog horror movement. Analog horror resembles found-footage in its approach to storytelling using “found media,” but it stands out due to its fragmented narratives and scarce information provided through dialogue and visual cues.
Independent filmmakers, frequently sharing their short movies or series on YouTube, have been instrumental in shining a light on an emerging genre that’s now making waves across the cinematic landscape. Pioneering works such as the avant-garde and contentious film “Skinamarink” and upcoming A24 production “The Backrooms” by young analog horror YouTuber Kane Parsons, are paving the way. As more indie filmmakers dabble in the genre, it appears that the future is promising for enthusiasts of independent horror. Found footage films could very well be revisiting the acclaim achieved by experimental and genre-defining movies like “The Blair Witch Project“.
If you appreciate bold filmmakers and avant-garde art that pushes boundaries, make sure you make an effort to visit an Alamo Drafthouse cinema on January 10th. You wouldn’t want to miss this unique one-time showing, as after it ends, the movie will be as elusive as genuine found footage itself.
This Can’t Be Beat! will be screened exclusively at Alamo Drafthouse theaters in certain cities on January 10, with no online release planned.
