Uwe Boll

"
Boll is the subject of a documentary film titled Raging Boll directed by Dan Lee West which premiered at the Austin Film Festival in October 2010. Boll is notable for getting heavyweight actors like Oscar winner Ben Kingsley Ray Liotta and many famous actors like Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren to star in his movies. The investor was then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money the investor would get a tax writeoff.

He finances his own films through his Boll KG and Event Film Productions production companies. He has been described as the Ed Wood of the 21st Century due to making one panned movie after another.
