September Tapes is a faux-documentary feature film co-written and directed by Christian Johnston in his feature debut. An early review of the film's promotional trailer noted that the footage looked "more real than network news footage".{{cite web |url=http://www.indiescene.net/archives/indie_film_september.html |title=Movie Marketing Blog - Movie Marketing Update: Indie Film 'September Tapes' upstages Recent Hollywood Efforts at Viral Marketing |publisher=Indiescene.net |date=2004-06-05 |accessdate=2014-02-02 |archive-date=2012-02-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222191125/http://www.indiescene.net/archives/indie_film_september.html |url-status=dead }}
