Incident at Loch Ness

Incident at Loch Ness is a 2004 mockumentary starring, produced by and written by Werner Herzog and Zak Penn. The small cast film follows Herzog and his crew Gabriel Beristain, Russell Williams II while working on the production of a movie project on the Loch Ness Monster entitled Enigma of Loch Ness. Incident at Loch Ness won the New American Cinema Award at the 2004 Seattle International Film Festival.

As the film continues, Herzog hosts a dinner party to kick off film production. In attendance are his wife Lena Herzog, several Hollywood celebrities Jeff Goldblum, Ricky Jay, and the films crew. Difficulties begin to arise as the untested producer, Zak Penn, attempts to transform Herzogs film into a highgrossing blockbuster. In this attempt, Penn commits several Hollywood clichs such as hiring a beautiful woman Kitana Baker for a dubious role as a sonar operator and a selfdeluded cryptozoologist Michael Karnow for comic relief.As the shooting progresses, the tension between Herzog and Penn escalates with each revelation that Penn is acting in an underhanded manner. First, it becomes quite apparent the producer has commissioned a fake Nessie to be used. Then both Kitana and Karnow are revealed to be actors hired by Penn. ........
