German-born YouTube sensation Flula Borg is currently raising funds to shoot his first ever movie and movie-within-a-movie documentary.

Flula, best known for his “Auto Tunes” segments on YouTube, where he recreates some of the biggest hits using a drum machine, mixer and just about every other instrument imagined – all on the fly while driving in his car – has generated tens of millions of views and attracted celebrity guest collaborators like “Baby Got Back” legend Sir-Mix-A-Lot and Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks. He has even created a hilarious “techo banger” song with Will Ferrell the cast of Anchorman 2.

JOHNNY FIST will be Flula’s first ever movie. It is about a cowboy poet named Johnny Fist. The multi-talented Flula is directing, writing, shooting, editing and acting in his movie mostly by himself. He’s also making up his movie as he goes, which has already led to some small disasters…and some truly magical moments too.

Flula’s original intention was to make his movie on the way to Park City, Utah in order to debut the film at the Sundance Film Festival there. But things didn’t turn out the way he thought!

THE MAKING OF JOHNNY FIST
This project is about much more than just Flula’s movie, Johnny Fist. That’s because while Flula has been creating Johnny Fist, a documentary film crew–led by director Alex Simmons–has been following his every move filming “The Making Of Johnny Fist.”

Flula and the Making of Johnny Fist will be a feature documentary about Flula’s attempt to make his movie. It’s a movie-within-a-movie in the spirit of two of his favorite documentaries of all time: Werner Herzog’s Burden of Dreams and the incredible American Movie. So far the documentary crew has recorded all kinds of awesome moments.
