No excuses

No money, mounting day job obligations, escalating bills, costly celluloid films rolls and no distributor. This is the age whereby there is no excuse to wanting to become a filmmaker and not make a film.

I started working this way because I had no other way to shoot films. But at this point I really like working this way. When you’re lacking resources, time, money or equipment it forces you to come up with really cool solutions in ways you might have never thought of before. I think every movie actually needs some of this creativity.
... ... It’s like in music. Not being able to go into studios to record created this whole underground movement and then aesthetically it becomes an influence on everybody. It’s the same for movies, like the French New Wave. It was about limitations so they created this whole new aesthetic.

This other guy made two feature films for USD$3, 000: Dead of Knight, Lars the Emo Kid. Don't tell me it's impossible to do it here. Don't say you have the perfect script but you're not shooting it because you do not have money. Don't think there is no other way.
