One of the biggest student films ever made

"BILL THE GALACTIC HERO" (Watch on Vimeo)

Harry Harrison's military sci-fi picaresque Bill the Galactic Hero had been optioned for a film as early as the 80s, but nothing came of it.
I found out that a couple few years ago, Alex Cox (probably best known for Repo Man) and his film students at the University of Colorado went and made a film. Funded by Kickstarter and everything.
