American Astronaut: Walk to Ceres

Or, How to Make a Film for About Twenty Bucks. Through sheer force of creativity,apparently. One of the joys of the film is watching this guy overcome his money obstacles, one by one, with a simple elegance that approaches art. If you're thinking of seeing it, watch this first. If the style here escapes you, you haven't a chance deeper in.

Actually I think it was between 1 & 2 mil, which I with a touch of indie snark refer to as 20 bucks. Never do I recall seeing a small production budget better spent in service to sheer take-no-prisoners creativity.

Poster, you nailed it. This movie is all heart and brilliant to boot. Nice to see that my wife and I aren't crazy after all. =)

And no, it didn't cost anywhere near 2mil to make this.

$20? More like $2million. But it's still worth every cent. One of my fav films of all time. Up there with Tap and Withnail.
