The Wizard of Speed and Time

In a bizarre tale of artistic defiance, Mike Jittlov's 1988 film "The Wizard of Speed and Time" is a psychedelic spectacle that blends music, comedy, and special effects into a cinematic experience that defies conventions. The brainchild of its director-turned-star, this feature-length expansion on his 1979 short film sees Jittlov play a fictionalized version of himself as a special effects wizard battling against an evil producer who's betting on his failure. With a budget held together by stop-motion animation and a healthy dose of creativity, "The Wizard" has become a cult favorite among sci-fi enthusiasts and fans of B-movie magic. A testament to Jittlov's perseverance and innovative spirit, this film is a must-see for anyone willing to indulge in its offbeat charm.
