Any New York filmmaker looking for great example of no-budget ingenuity would be well served to stop by the Pioneer Theater next weekend and see Vladan Nikolic's Love. The film, which played at Tribeca and Venice, takes on multiple points of view in its depiction of a love triangle between a hit man, a police officer, and the woman that comes between them. Shot on Mini DV and then transferred to 35mm, Love boasts a level of artistry and craftsmanship that makes it feel far more pricy than the reported $45,000 it cost to make. (Disclaimer: I recently wrapped production on a short which was shot by Love cinematographer Vladimir Subotic -- seeing what he was able to do with DV on that film was one of the reasons I was so excited to work with him on my project.)
