Theatrical feature film shot on $15000!

This is the story of Gareth Edwards, a British film director who wrote, directed, shot and edited his own film for $15000 which then earned him $4.8million in sales.

This dude is my hero: he took 7 people with him in one van, drove to Mexico and shooting his movie with two prosumer cameras all the way there and back and created the visual effects for the entire movie on his personal computer in his bedroom.

His movie ended up winning several top awards including Best Director, Best Technical Achievement, and Best Achievement in Production awards at the British Independent Film Awards!

And, with software like Adobe Premiere, After Effects & Photoshop Hollywood is really at our fingertips. Here Gareth talks about how  he  used these Adobe editing suites for his movie:

These are the kinds of stories that inspire me to make films that have a strong message and can reach millions through mediums like Youtube.

The latest news is that through this film, Gareth has scored himself the role to direct the upcoming Godzilla movie!
