No-Budget Horror
Why are there so many “Friday the 13th”, “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, “Halloween” and even “Saw” movies? Because they do not cost very much to make. Thus, aspiring filmmakers take on horror features (like Sam Raimi & Peter Jackson) to break into the movie industry. CatBusRuss was working on an independent drama about pro-wrestling, but after seeing movies with next to no budget, he dropped that project to write his no-budget, pro-wrestling, zombie comedy, “Main Event of the Dead”. (Email russthebus07@gmail.com for a treatment.) Sadly, not everybody will end up claiming a best director Oscar. But you cannot hate on the effort they put in to their feature despite the lack of budget…or can you?
