Here is a great sci-fi short film that was shot for a mere $5000. It's an entertaining movie and very well made, but what I like most about it is the way it was made. Big budget movies solve most problems with money. Low budget films can't do that so they use creativity and extreme levels of hard work to compensate. This movie was shot cleverly to make the most of the main actor in the movie. The special effects, while impressive for the budget, are not the point and are used pretty sparingly as spice to help tell the story. They aren't the point of the film. That's not only better for the budget but also for the story. The effects exist only to help tell the story, not to supplant it.
