Other filmmakers with as little money, as little time, and just as many pressures as you'll be facing have achieved remarkable feats in low-budget filmmaking. They overcame the same problems, and some that you could never have imagined. And now their lessons are available to you, thanks to low-budget guru John Gaspard. Each of the nearly three dozen low-budget classics examined in this book offer a handful of indispensable how-tos, from stretching your production dollars and making your movie stand out from the pack to developing a unique story, from getting great performances out of your actors when you have limited time and money to establishing your reputation as an indie filmmaker. It includes revealing new interviews with such low-budget mavericks as Steven Soderbergh ( Sex, Lies, and Videotape ), Roger Corman ( The Little Shop of Horrors ), Jon Favreau ( Swingers ), Henry Jaglom ( Festival in Cannes ), Daniel Myrick ( The Blair Witch Project ), Bob Odenkirk ( Melvin Goes to Dinner ), Barbara Steele ( Caged Heat ), L.M. Kit Carson ( David Holzman's Diary ), Alan Cumming ( The Anniversary Party ), and more. Learn how to achieve remarkable feats in low-budget filmmaking.
