Sorry. This assertion of a $300 budget just doesn't wash with me.
Firstly, the camera that filmed this movie cost more than $300, unless it was made from recycled parts found in the city dump. The animation cost more $300 as did all the actors and city shots. The only way this film cost $300 is if one guy did every single thing including act as buildings and scenery and all the extras.
At best this is a publicity stunt advertising a movie that is either complete or in production. It's following on the heels of District 9 - a great Sci Fi NOT based in the US or with any big name actors and no doubt trying to follow in its footsteps. Don't get me wrong. It is a great piece of work, and an excellent piece of PR.
At best, the budget was $300 on paper and he overshot it by about $999, 700. If the budget for this film was $300 then Avatar's budget was $3000.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Looking forward to the release of Panic Attack and finding out exactly which big movie house is behind this.
