Movie made for R600 gets Cinema release

A zombie movie made using a camcorder for less then the price of a DVD box set is set to be distributed in cinemas across the UK.....

"Colin," made by budding British director, Marc Price, will now get its own DVD as well as hitting the big screen in time for Halloween.



Price wrote, directed, shot and edited "Colin" over 18 months while working nights at a taxi company. The 30-year-old first-time director says he managed to make the film for so little by advertising for volunteer zombies on social networking site, Facebook. He also borrowed make-up and taught himself special effects by endlessly re-watching making-of featurettes and director's commentaries from his personal DVD collection. The full story at CNN.

So the question is: why not you next?
