The Scottish Highlands will be unusually busy over the next month, particularly around the Loch Ness area as two documentary teams set up shop near Nessie's ancestral home. Despite the fact that all he's likely to find in the area is American tourists, German director, Werner Herzog will be exploring the myth surrounding the Loch Ness monster in his latest documentary, The Enigma Of Loch Ness. But, not content with that, there will also be a documentary about the documentary as a second crew works on Herzog In Wonderland, a documentary about the director himself. Examining his relationship with Hollywood, the (second) documentary will follow Herzog in his search for the mythical beast (the first documentary) as one part of a feature that will, according to actor Sean Penn, 'Bring him to a larger audience.' Confused? Good.
