"A True Celebration of Budget-Constraint Creativity." - Elliot Grove (Raindance)
The Good, the Bad, & the Low Budget - Japan Low-Budget Film Festival has been launched on an unsuspecting Japan! In Japan, few foreign films are ever screened and indies film directors are squashed like Godzilla rampaging through Tokyo. There is no where to turn if you haven't the big bucks to remake the next Star Wars.
The Good, the Bad, & the Low Budget - Japan Low-Budget Film Festival is for everyone with a dream to become a filmmaker! Our only requirements are that your film is cheap (like let's say, under $20,000 total budget - actually, I couldn't afford that!) Our judges just love low budget movies because they've made them themselves (one time too many as a matter of fact!)
No major film studios are welcomed. None. We are a truly independent film festival designed for lovers of films and people who can use great ideas to make new and interesting projects instead of throwing cash down the bin faster than a Yakuza chopping off his pinky.
Consider us your first step towards Raindance Film Festival (our Godfather partners in London) and the Japan Indies Film Festival (JIFF) as these two festivals are our big sisters - and they support us - in this game of indies films.
In fact, we were going to call our festival "Cheapdance" but my wife said that was "Too low class."
I kind of liked it.
Anyway....
The Good, the Bad, & the Low Budget - Japan Low-Budget Film Festival celebrates the best in Indies films and the screenings will be held at the Capsule Theater in Shibuya, on Oct. 27 & 28, 2021 and we will also broadcast your films worldwide on the internet with the help of Raindance again!
So, stop what you are doing right now... You know, that old home movie of your kids? Could be gold! That cinema project in high school or college? Win an award, that'll show them! Just piddling around with your dream while working full time? OK, great! And how about that cat video you shot with your iPhone? It's a Grammy winner!
But don't be scared away, we also accept films from serious filmmakers!
Join with us indies folks who are making a dream come true and NOT spending a sh*tload of money on crappy movies like Marvel Comics does.
Because great ideas can take the place of big money anytime!
PS: Silent films MOST welcomed! Films shot on iPhones very welcomed!
