In 2000 Kelley Baker set out to make a full length feature film for the sum of $1000.  He failed miserably.  His budget ballooned up to $4000, (he forgot he had to feed cast and crew), but when the dust finally settled he had completed THE GAS CAFE, a 90 minute DV feature.  Along the way he set up a website, shot behind the scenes footage (for a documentary), and made the movie that he wanted to.  What’s wrong with this guy?  In 2002 Kelley sent 100 letters to 100 Friends asking for $100 to fund Kicking Bird.  He raised $5000 and shot for 18 days.  Kelley is currently touring the country with Kicking Bird.  In this workshop Kelley will walk participants through the entire process from scripting through post production.  How to get the most for very limited resources, asking the right questions to get free stuff, and working in an atmosphere where people share your vision and put in very long hours for no money, and enjoy it!
