All Hollywood movies (and even most so-called "independent" films) that
reach the public have budgets in the millions of
dollars. However, there is a fascinating undercurrent of movie
production thriving in America; movies shot on 16mm, Super
8mm, and even on video, all produced on budgets that would only pay for
a week of catering on a Hollywood film.
One such champion low-budget production is ICE FROM THE SUN. This film, directed
by Eric Stanze, is notable for it's unique,
cutting edge approach to the horror genre, as well as the fact that it
is one of the most logistically complicated films ever made
at this budget level. This documentary explores the process of
producing such a film; the compromises, the victories, and the
dedication of the filmmakers to a movie project that had all the odds
against it.
