The Hunt for Gollum

The Hunt for Gollum
Holy crap. If you are/were a Lord of the Rings fan, you MUST go watch The Hunt for Gollum. This independent, fan-made film takes place in the interval between Bilbo’s birthday party and when Gandalf returns to send Frodo away from the Shire with the Ring. (It’s evidently drawn from the LotR appendices.) It’s amazingly well-done. This isn’t fan-fic; the people who made this are talented filmmakers who know what they are doing. It’s over 40 minutes long, but it doesn’t feel like it. We were both really impressed with it.
