From the chaotic streets of Saigon to the ominous Egyptian Pyramids, to the lost jungle city of Angkor, The Donovan of Civilization was filmed around the world by two friends with a $600 video camera and no crew, finding real people along the way to play the various characters. The series fuses improvised performances and exotic environments with a supernatural adventure, drawing inspiration from a range of popcorn flicks, from sci-fi to horror, to westerns. It's like a super low-budget Indiana Jones (except Donovan is afraid of everything, not just snakes).
