344) MONSTERS
(2010 dir. Gareth Edwards) Date Seen: September 30 2010
Very low-budget DIY movie folks are becoming more daring with the genre stuff they're willing to take on; & I'm here to say I'm fully onboard & excited to see the things creatives are going to dream up. I have to imagine work like this (& MOON and SLEEP DEALER), warts & all, were what Coppola had in mind when he used to evangelize about the democratizing power technology was going to have on personal filmmaking. Also omg, MONSTERS was apparently shot entirely on a jailbroken Eos SLR? and all the VFX were done in After Effects on laptops?! Blimey
