Here's the Price of Fame: $218.32
"Jonathan Caouette has turned heads at the Sundance Film Festival with the most basic of tools: old home movies and a bargain-basement editing program."
Read the Wired News article about the "first" feature length movie made entirely with iMovie that showed up at Sundance, including some nice quotes from Gus Van Sant:
Van Sant described Tarnation as "amazingly original," and the kind of film he'd been waiting to see since the 1970s... "Filmmakers can afford to work now. No more excuses, or filmmakers' block, or procrastination. Either they start shooting, or they are waiting for the vanity crew, or they aren't filmmakers."
I decided last year my new motto was: stop talking and start doing. So why am I talking about it? To encourage others to do the same. I have plans that I intend to start in motion in just a few weeks... in the meantime, participate in WeeklyDV.com and go and rent "Day For Night" by Truffaut. Beautiful film about film.

if its shot on DV can you really call it a film?

While at Sundance this year, Tarnation was one of the films on my must see list. Of course, I wasn't the only one as the film sold out its screenings before I could get my tix. If it ever finds distribution, I'll check it out.
By the way, I sent you a mix cd to thank you for your photoblog tutorial for MT. Thanks again!

I have known Jonathan Caouette for 17 years and to see him finally get the recognition he deserves is such a thrill! I am so proud of him, and I am overjoyed at the incredible response he has received for 'Tarnation! I see great things for him! CONGRATS to you, Jonathan. Love, Jenna.
