Anyone can make a movie, at almost any budget. Making a GOOD film is very different.

The Blair Witch Project.

Grabbed my Sony Hi8 and ran into the woods...then got scared and ran back out.

Jack jules esther and me.

A crappy indy I AD'd for an exploitative a-hole director 8 years ago. I realized I should be helming sets instead of him and that there was no special requirement to do so

Tangerine (which is probably a bit of a cliché).

I didn't necessarily think I could make a feature, but it was my first real exposure to low-budget filmmaking—or at least the first time I became aware of the fact that the economics of filmmaking were within reach to a much wider group than before.

Wow, I never bothered to check who made some of my favorite Jean-Claude Van Damme movies...that dude worked on a lot of films.

EDIT --> Actually it appears he just made one JCVD movie, ha.

The two films I worked on were actually pretty fun productions.

I thought about remaking "When Harry met Sally" in one day.
