This re-affirms my faith in the ability to make art on a budget.
Feedback was shot in 2002 on 35mm film for $35,000. In other words, it cost less than the Blair Witch Project and was shot on high quality film instead of with a camcorder. It was cheaper than Cube or Pi. The next least expensive film I have ever seen was the 2003 Thompson/Powell Family Reuniun.
It is about some low-life hoodlums with checkered morals who miraculously obtain a device which allows you to make a telephone call up to 6 hours into the past. It is grimy, brutal, and entirely human. The plot ticks forward in a well-oiled fashion, the actors do a beautiful job portraying characters who aren't beautiful, and the cinematography is simply divine.
They have one copy at Hollywood Video, which may be checked out at any given time. If I can obtain a copy for less than $22 (amazon) I'll probably lend it to you. :)
