Veracity[edit]

I'm not entirely certain if this film is a documentary or not. The critical opinion seems mixed about this issue, so I tried to give a fair sampling of what the critics think about this film. This man Scott apparently does make no-budget films in Halifax for a living. Check out this "amazing trailer" as it is billed for Scott's debut: They killed my cat. And also note there is a YouTube account named ElliotScott which on 30 May 2010 posted this trailer for They Killed My Cat and on 11 July 2010 posted this trailer for The Hero and the Stalker. Kung Fu Elliot debuted on 17 January 2014. If this is a mockumentary, somebody went to a lot of work creating fake trailers almost four years before Kung Fu Elliot debuted. Anyhow, trying to prove a negative is a difficult thing, but it should noted that this film won two awards at film festivals in the United States in 2014. If there was some work out there debunking this film as a mockumentary a la This is Spinal Tap, then presumably those awards would had been revoked, and as far I can see, that has not happened. This leads me to the conclusion that there is no debunking work out there. That's does not this film is for real; it may very well be a mockumentary. It just that I cannot find anything out there definitely saying it is. --A.S. Brown (talk) 02:12, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
