Searching for Filmmaker

Filmmaker is a real gem of a documentary directed by George Lucas of Star Wars fame. It chronicles the trials and tribulations of Francis Ford Coppola and his rowdy band of filmmaking misfits as they work to create The Rain People. A cursory search on Amazon shows nothing. The film seems to be only available on YouTube thanks to user "genursus", whose real name is Christohper Dye.¹

If it wasn't for these clips on YouTube, the movie probably wouldn't be available at all. It is frequently used as archival footage in documentaries about Coppola and Lucas, but rarely as a whole film. It is not included on the DVD of The Rain People or any other DVD by Coppola or Lucas.
