What happens

The Last Broadcast is a 1998 American found footage horror film written, produced and directed by Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler, who also star in the film. Told in a pseudo-documentary format and employing the found-footage technique, the fictional film appears to tell the story of a man convicted in 1995 of murdering the members of his team during an expedition to find the mythic Jersey Devil in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The film is credited as the first feature-length film shot and edited entirely on consumer-level digital equipment. It premiered on October 23, 1998 and was a commercial success despite mixed critical reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
