    About the Book

    Edit

    For all those indie filmmakers who wonder about jumping into the "feature filmmaking" pond, here's an exciting catalog of movies that Schmidt made, by hook or crook––26 no/low-budget features in 40 years. Budgets range right down to $39 for the DV movie THE HIGDEN MAN (see FOREWORD/Interview with feature filmmaker Sujewa Ekanayake). What matters is that if "filmmaking" is your dream, hopefully this little booklet will form a basis for your future efforts (if HE can do it so can U!). By examining the one-page entries the reader should get a sense of Schmidt’s creative priorities––an improv approach to actors/non-actors, on-the-spot story-telling, editorial exploration, and the nuts and bolts of no/low-budget producing. Hopefully, the take-away from this “used-car filmmaking” book is that ANYONE CAN BECOME A FEATURE FILMMAKER. With DV/digital moviemaking equipment—many features here were shot in DV––artists can now make their movies with affordable HD cameras or phones, shooting 4K video and editing apps. And with determination, you can start to compile your own catalog of completed works, hopefully earning a trip to Park City/Sundance and beyond.

    Rick Schmidt
    Santa Fe, NM USA

    Rick Schmidt has been creating films since the seventies and "Sticky Wicket" is his 26th feature. His films have been screened in film festivals around the world, including Sundance's Dramatic Competition (Grand Jury Prize nomination), Slamdance, Rotterdam, Berlin International, New Directors/New Films, the Museum of Modern Art (NY), and has received critical praise from top film critics. Schmidt is also author of "Feature Filmmaking at Used Car Prices" which is considered "The Bible" of fledgling filmmakers and has been credited with influencing filmmakers Kevin Smith, Vin Diesel, Tom DiCillo and others. His "Extreme DV" (Penguin/Random House Books, 2004) is for the digital filmmaker who has an improv story to tell. Since 1995 his "Feature "Workshops" have helped dozens of aspiring filmmakers to make their first feature film, and their "Chetzemoka's Curse" has been certified Dogme #10 by internationally acclaimed Dogme 95 filmmakers Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg.
