Book excerpt: "With today's proliferation of nine-figure film budgets, filmmaking may seem more out of reach than ever for the average person. In fact, making a movie for next to nothing has never been easier. In Movies Without Baggage, longtime filmmakers Alain Silver, Obren Bokich, and sundry others recount their experiences in the micro-budget arena and detail how 21st-century technology makes it possible to produce high-quality, full-length features for less than $50,000, $25,000, or even $10,000. Through this book's in-the-trenches tales detailing the making of a dozen micro-budget features, all aspects of making movies without baggage are covered: finding/creating the right script, budgeting, casting, deal-making with actors and crew, scheduling, shooting, post-production, and finally marketing and securing distribution. This entertainingly illustrated volume also includes samples of the paperwork from five of the ultra-low-budget films it profiles"--
