Sundance 2011: Sometimes Life Is Just Better With A Home Made Flamethrower.

Meet Coatwolf, the makers of Sundance selected feature Bellflower, proponents of custom built camera equipment, and men with a fondness for fire. Here's the synopsis of their film:

Bellflower follows two friends as they venture out into the world to begin their adult lives. Literally all their free time is spent building flame-throwers and weapons of mass destruction in hopes that a global apocalypse will occur and clear the runway for their imaginary gang "Mother Medusa". While waiting for the world to end, their call to excitement comes unexpectedly when one of them meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love. Quickly integrated into a new group of friends, they set off on a journey of betrayal, love, hate, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies.

On one level very much the sort of indie drama that you would expect to find in the ultra low budget NEXT section at Sundance, Bellflower mixes things up a bit by throwing in home made flamethrowers and a customized car that apparently exploded (not on purpose) during production. Check the trailer below.
