Title of film is Action on No Budget
01:20 starts talking about the $50k Red camera being dangled out the back of the pickup. 
Probably worth a thread in its own right, but how is "no budget" being defined these days?

Micro-budget begins at $4m according to film finance attorney Bianca Bezdek-Goodloe.

I'm guessing by that implication and other references a film budget below that threshold is considered "no-budget", AKA chump change.

So everything I've ever done is considered microbudget... combined... even if you include all of the equipment cost for purchases and wages for construction time.

I always thought...
$100,000 to $5,000,000 = Low Budget
$0 to $99,999 = "No budget"
Anyone else hear that?

That was a very good (and helpful) documentary, I got some good tips from it.
and just as a side note; wow you guys must be rich! because (and i'm sure it shows) when I say here is my no budget movie, I do usually mean I spent between £20 and £50 on the production, everything else is begged for or borrowed.
