What I like about Char Man is that it's literally about a group of filmmakers that set out with the intention of making a "manufactured documentary" but end up stumbling upon something that's very real. I also liked the dynamic between the three main characters and how they start out as buds but, once their trip takes a turn, things between them begin to fray. A nice understated touch is their interaction with the people in the town they're in and how it makes you think there is more than meets the eye. It's a misleadingly simple production with a lot of subtle touches that superficial viewers won't (and won't try to) get. I found this to be a worthy addition to the found footage genre.
