Courage & Stupidity is a 2005 fictional American comedy film written and directed by Darin Beckstead.[1][2]
History
The film screened at Fantasia, the Sitges Film Festival, and was distributed by Netflix.[3][4][5]
Synopsis
Courage & Stupidity reimagines Steven Spielberg's making of Jaws. The story fantasizes of how the filming of that movie and the director's early career is challenged when the mechanical shark breaks down during production.[2]
Courage & Stupidity derives its title from a statement made by Mr. Spielberg about his behind-the-scenes memories of the 1970s blockbuster. Courage & Stupidity also contains numerous easter-egg references to other Spielberg films.[2][6]
