Shock Horror

This is the trailer for Colin The £45 that has apparently taken Cannes film festival by storm. Filmed on a 10 year old standard camcorder, and edited on a home PC it was written, filmed, edited and produced by one man, Marc Price and took 18 months to complete. Whilst most of the hype stems from its ridiculously low budget of £45, which was spent on a crowbar, ketchup and some tape. Price was able to keep his cost low by advertising for extras and volunteers on facebook, and getting them to bring their own lighting equipment, make-up etc. This film also breaks new ground, in that it is the first zombie film told from the zombies prospective and focuses on the relationship between Colin (who changes within the first few minutes) and his sister, and what he witnesses whilst out on a carnivorous rampage. Critics have called this one of the best indie films this year and some viewers at the Cannes film festival reportedly cried (tears of emotion, not pain).
