What portion of a 16mm movie can be made for $1,000? Or, put
another way, how does one turn a thousand dollars into a 30-minute
short? This is the question confronting Charlie di Paulo, who has
just received a seed grant from the Portland Film Institute to
shoot his 16mm film. For a 26-year-old cab driver, a thousand
dollars is a lot of cash, yet it won't even cover the cost of his
film stock. Money isn't Charlie's only problem. His new girlfriend
and his stepfather, Vic, are both convinced he should be pursuing
his dream through more conventional means, and Vic has offered to
pay for film school. For Charlie, whose 8mm short was good enough
to win him the grant, education isn't necessary-money is. As the
book unfolds, he sets about trying to raise the money and mount the
production, and along the way he receives support in various forms
from the local doyenne of independent film, a cobbler, a philosophy
student, and a bookie.
