No Budget Filmmaking - Wrapping up 2016

Well, 2016's coming to a close. What have you done this year with your creative juices?

Anyone can make a movie. With no money. I'm living proof.

What a year. It's December. Reflecting back on 2016, I've got a lot done. Made a new short film and got it already screened to over 20 film festivals this year. Ran for Congress. Had films screen at over 50 film festivals this year. And am editing a new short film to come out early 2017.

All on no money.

It's amazing what you can get done with nothing.

Wrapping Up Summer in the Middle of Nowhere

THE UNDERGROUND FILMMAKER

It's been a busy summer.

To put it mildly, it's been one hell of a summer.

And there's still the month of August to go.

What can you get done in the middle of nowhere? On no money? With no budget?

Quite a bit. I'm living proof.

Since I came back to my ghost town the end of January, a lot's been done out here in the middle of nowhere:

Made a new short film
Wrote a new book
Screened films at over 50 film festivals worldwide
Ran a monthly free short film festival worldwide
Ran for U.S. Congress

All on no money.

That's just a recap off the top of my head. A lot of other things have happened too.

And things just keep rocking.

I love being an underground filmmaker.

One Busy Month with Filmmaking, Writing & Running for Congress

THE UNDERGROUND FILMMAKER

It's one busy month.

This month I've been making movies, writing and campaigning for my Congress campaign.

The shoot for the documentary film is clipping along. One day at a time.

Our short films continue to clip along and rock the film festival circuit. This week, I received invites to submit short films to another 15 film festivals around the world. And this month, 4 of our newest films are screening at film festivals in Los Angeles, Seattle, Cyprus and South Africa.

Writing a new book right now. Have almost 200 pages done. Have about 70 more to go.

And the Congress campaign. Back in March, I filed for U.S. Congress as a Democratic candidate. 10 years ago, I won the primary with over 70 percent of the vote, and received over 35 percent of the vote in the General Election with no money and no contributions. Here, 10 years later, it'll be interesting to see what happens. The primary is in August. So for the primary, I'm doing a self-funded no budget campaign. Let's see what happens.

Busy times in the middle of nowhere.

Moviemaking, Writing...and the Congress Campaign

THE UNDERGROUND FILMMAKER

It's been a busy week.

This last week I've been making movies, writing and campaigning for my Congress campaign.

Working on a documentary feature film right now. Have been for a couple of months. It'll take a few more months for shooting to wrap up. It's going to be a great one.

Also, our short films continue to clip along and rock the film festival circuit. Last week, I received invites to submit short films to over 50 film festivals around the world. And this month, 4 of our newest films are screening at film festivals in Los Angeles, Seattle, Cyprus and South Africa.

Writing a new book right now. Have 130 pages done. Have about 150 more to go.

And the Congress campaign. Back in March, I filed for U.S. Congress as a Democratic candidate. 10 years ago, I won the primary with over 70 percent of the vote, and received over 35 percent of the vote in the General Election with no money and no contributions. Here, 10 years later, it'll be interesting to see what happens. The primary is in August. So for the primary, I'm doing a self-funded no budget campaign. Let's see what happens.

How to Make a Movie With No Money

NO BUDGET FILMMAKING



Anyone can make a movie. With no money.

All you need is an idea, a camera and a computer.

Start with a short film. Spend a day shooting your idea. Transfer the footage from your camera to a computer. Edit it into a short film. Then submit it to film festivals around the world.

A lot goes into each process:

Development: an idea
Pre-production: putting it all together
Production: shooting the film
Post-production: editing the film
Distribution: playing your film on the film festival circuit.

Anyone can make a movie. With no money.



Pick a Project and Go With It

Anyone can make a movie. Anywhere. With no money.

I'm living proof. I've been in the entertainment business for over 30 years. Stage and film. First as an actor. Then as a writer. A director, now a filmmaker for the last 11 years.

As a filmmaker, my films have screened at over 400 film festivals worldwide. And have gathered a global cult following. With no money. No budget. Underground independent filmmaking.

If you have a camera and a computer, along with an idea, you can make a movie.

Declare Your Independence With No Budget Filmmaking

I'm a truly independent filmmaker.

No budget. Underground.

Been in the entertainment business for over 30 years. As an actor. Writer. Director. Producer. College Professor.

Screw Hollywood. You don't need to be in L.A. to make a movie.

You can make a movie anywhere. With no money.

All you need is a camera, computer and an idea.

Declare your independence. Let your voice be heard. The world deserves it.

 

NO BUDGET FILMMAKING

Making, Doing and Acting on Nothing

Well, it's a new year.

Getting things done on nothing.
Making things happen on nothing.

Enjoying what has been abandoned.
Enjoying and working with what others leave behind.

You don't need money to make things happen.
You don't need money to get things done.

Sing your song.
Make things happen.
