A QUALITY FEATURE FILM HAS BEEN MADE FOR $150

I saw the future of movies tonight. A 73 minute feature film made for $150. The entire film cost $150 is 73 minutes long, and it is amazing on every level. Titled "The First Time" and made by a guy named Sherwood Jones who used all digital techniques: camera, and disks plus the new editing program that allows free edit within any format. It's in color and corrected, has music, first rate sound, and plenty of dialogue and action. Just amazing for any of you thinking about making a movie, OPPORTUNITY IS THERE RIGHT NOW.

The actors are all pros who contributed their time; stars a guy who you will hear from in the future named Don Durrell and features 42 people you have seen here and there. The real star is the cost, which again, was $150. Unbelievable. I saw it at a special screening at the Los Angeles Film School. For those of you in LA I'll try to find out if you can see it again.

Jones wrote it, directed it, edited it and made it look easy.

YOU YOUNG GUYS CAN'T SAY YOU CAN'T MAKE A MOVIE ANY MORE BECAUSE THEY COST TOO MUCH. YOU CAN MAKE IT FOR NOTHING. I have to laugh at that clown John Boorman pissing and moaning that he can't make a movie for less than $50 million (Link via Roger L Simon). Don't listen to any of these old farts. They are full of shit. Jones hasn't a website but I'll talk to him in the next few days and he will have one.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS. THE FUTURE JUST HAPPENED. Keep in mind I am not evaluating this movie on the basis of "artistic merit"; the acting, writing, editing, or direction although Durrell is excellent. I am only saying that this off the charts cheap feature film is how movies can be done right now.
