Easy Rider was made on a shoe stringt and brought Peter Fonda millions of bucks. He blew the money trying to make another one.
I have been reading Fat Drunk and Stupid,the story of making Animal House. That budget was $2.8 million, it wast shot in 32 days and it brought in $140 million. Donald Sutherland passed on the opportunity to take points, a percentage of gross, thereby passing up a $6 million payday.
Just wondering, today's downsized HD video and remote mikes with digital editing make this a lot easier than it used to be. Has anyone considered even a short movie onsome topic.
The best short video I have seen the last couple of years is The Confession with Kiefer Sutherland. If youcan find it on Hulu,efinitely worth a look for as Kiefer says its high production values, and a great story. Serious stuff not for your eight year old.
