it just goes to show a great story and heart put into a movie even a low budget movie like following can be better then a movie just thrown together for the money. Following was a good movie, amazing it was made on such a small budget.
Why you lurking my page brah?

It shows me that you can make a feature film for almost nothing using Guerilla techniques and two years later, with a bit of luck, your working with Guy Pierce and Joey Pants on a small budget professional film. A few years and films later, you are writing your own ticket and are getting offered 200 mil to make a film with a secret plot that is set in the human mind.
Its a good dream.
If you want to make good solid movies you have to get an IDEA not to build cities but to create a verry artistic first movie
and thats what Nolan had with Following and memento.
I'm seeing it FOR THE FIRST TIME in couple of days, Can't wait!

No one needs a 200 million dollar budget to make a good movie (well, depending on te effects) the story and acting is all that matters. Nolan's Following shows us that something as simple as that can be great. And that is why he is/should be an inspiration to us all.

I'm happy I was able to see this film before the Inception release, it was incredibly intelligent and well thought, what a good character Cobb was, no wonder the homage.

I'm with ya on that one.
Although more micro-budget movies getting major pushes is going to be interesting to see.
I agree completely. Although for a micro budget success, I really thought The Blair Witch Project was really good!
Its my least favorite Nolan film, but its interesting to see what he was able to accomplish w/ such constrictions (although one thing I did like was Nolan shooting in B&W... wonder if he'll ever do that again?
