Just wanted to share some inspiration with you all as we head into the weekend. Did you know that some of the most iconic films in history were made on shoestring budgets but went on to make millions?This just goes to show that you don't always need a massive budget to create something amazing. All it takes is creativity & passion.

Another example is Good will Hunting. Matt Damon admitted in an interview it was really a movie that was "just people talking" that happened to connect with the drama of the story. That was what got the bigger names interested and 9 Oscar nominations.

it’s amazing isn’t it but do bear in mind literally hundreds of thousands of low budget movies never even see the light of day. Thats what keeps us all going I guess hoping fora Blair Witch Project success.

Napoleon Dynamite is always my favorite example. That movie was quoted for 10 years straight without stopping!

Nice! I've always liked our German neighbours' famous quote: "In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister". And it's not just limited money but also limited time that can boost unexpected creative solutions. Such restrictions can be a blessing in disguise and may lead to new gems!

I agree with you Charles Caster ! I've also heard a record label owner here in America say, "Sometimes too much money is the problem." It's important to work with what you have and be resourceful. Thank you for the quote—I’ve added it to my notepad.
