Fateful Findings is a 2012 American independent science fiction film directed, written, produced, edited by, and starring Neil Breen,[1] who was also in charge of production design, set decoration, makeup, sound editing, catering, and casting.
The film was screened on December 8, 2012, at the invite-only Butt-Numb-A-Thon, had a public festival debut on May 23, 2013, at the Seattle International Film Festival,[2] and was released to theaters on January 18, 2014.[3][4]
Upon release, it was declared one of the worst films ever made and quickly gained a cult following.[5] Among other things, viewers cite the film's cryptic and incomprehensible plot, poor production values, overt political messages, stilted dialogue, and bizarre and unnatural performance by Breen, as well as his real-life eccentricities, as part of the film's ironic appeal.[5][6][7] Some critics have cited the film as an example of outsider art and the phenomenon of "so bad it's good" media.[8][9][3]
