A CHRISTOPHER KNIGHT FILM

starring in
Some said it couldn't be done. Others said it shouldn't have been done. But... we did it! A parody of Misery, the Rob Reiner film based on the Stephen King novel. Only in this version it's George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars saga, who crashes in a blizzard just after finishing the script for Episode III, then gets "rescued" by his "number-one fan".
This movie went all over the place media-wise! It was mentioned in Time, The Village Voice, Cinematical, and many other major magazines and film-related websites. Most prominent of all, Forcery was featured in the award-winning documentary The People vs. George Lucas, a film that was screened at Cannes (meaning that our stars Chad and Melody were seen at the world's premiere film festival. Not too shabby aye?). And not only that but "Weird Al" Yankovic told us "Nice job!" when he viewed it.
Plenty of sly in-jokes and references for keen-eyed fans of both George Lucas and Stephen King to find. Actually there's a little something in this for everyone. And don't worry, we made this to be a good, clean movie that anyone in the family can enjoy. If you like comedy in the vein of "Weird Al" and the Airplane! and Naked Gun movies, we think you might like this one too.
So without further ado, on with the show!
VERY special thanks to Chad Austin, Melody Hallman Daniel, Ed Woody, Darla Gritton, David Choate, Nate Daniel, Mom and Dad Knight, Marc Solomon, David Atlas, my sister Anita (who operated the clapboard for one scene), Kenneth and Laurie Wright and family, David and Carla Woody, David Wilson and Short Sugar's Drive-In, Lisa McBrayer, Deborah Wilson and Brian Hodges and Kyle Williams, Roland Shepley and Scott Baxley, and everyone else who helped in one way or another to make this dream (obsession?) become a reality :-)

Hey! I watched People vs George Lucas a few weeks ago and some of the best parts were from Forcery. Tonight is the first time I've watched your whole movie. WoW!!!! Almost everything is perfect right down to the choice of music. It has a few rough edges but that adds character. Thanks for making such an entertaining film.
Eric, thanks! I'll pass along your compliments to the rest of the team! Hard to believe it will be twenty years this summer since we did primary photography for Forcery. Everyone involved in it has stayed in touch with each other. It truly was an amazing experience and I'm delighted that it's still finding new viewers :-)
