| The Hunt for Gollum - Unofficial Lord of the Rings Prequel |
 This unofficial The Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hunt for Gollum is a superb fan-made film for the fans, which has been released for free on the Internet via Independent Online Cinema. The low budget prequel was made for less than $5,000 and has accumulated a large following since its release with more than 2 million views in its first month of release.
The Lord of the Rings saga sees Aragorn and Gandalf in search of Gollum, a 38 minute film that ties in quite neatly with the trilogy. It's an inspirational must-see for Lord of the Rings fans, guerilla film-makers and a wonderful showcase of what can be done on a limited budget.
