CREATING NO-BUDGET MINI-MOVIES (Past)

Even with no money to hire experts, build sets, or pay actors, we still managed to create an array of short videos. Each one required a lot of planning, the help of many happy volunteers, and a persistent effort on our part.

 
Here are two such films. We’ve included a few behind-the-scenes shots from each.
