CINEMA POVERA 

Filmmaker Sujewa Ekanayake posted below in the comments section about Caveh Zahedi and his Gotham win. Over at his blog, Filmmaking for the Poor, Ekanayake talks with filmmakers working with tiny budgets -- like this conversation with Zahedi -- as well as offers his own DIY advice. Check out the blog in general and this entry on on how to set up a digital editing system for less than $1,500.

Re: the editing system, etc.
Thanks for the mention Scott. More good news for ultra no budget would be filmmakers: these days a lot of relatively inexpensive PCs come w/ some sort of a digital video editing program, Firewire (or its more generic name IE1394 or something) capable, and even with DVD burners. We bought a Gateway eMachine computerat my dayjob a few days ago, $600 or so I think with mail in rebates, and it came with all the stuff that I mentioned above. That can certainly be used for short films and even for a relatively uncomplicated feature (simple editing). A good starting point at least, before moving up to Macs & FCP, etc.
