I think I can honestly say that I am the most prolific (not quite) no-budget moviemaker in the world. On March 13, 2001, I screened a feature length 16mm movie of mine at the Film Kitchen in Pittsburgh. I was on the same bill with a wealthy student at an expensive university who had just gotten a $15,000 grant on the strength of 4 short videos he’d made that were collectively around 10 minutes long. I had made 208 movies for around $15,000 by then over 25+ years. I’ve worked frequently with broken, borrowed, & otherwise unwanted equipment for 41+ years now & currently have over 467 finished movies that I’ve made — 136 of them are features. I’ve never had funding. My movies have consistently been hated & reviled because they’re anarchist, sometimes sexually explicit, always (m)usically ‘weird’, & ‘difficult to understand’. Over 250 of them are currently online. I’ll give you links for 10 from the last 18 years, mostly shorts, one feature. My apologies that none are in Spanish.
