Case Study: Breaking Upwards

THERE are low-budget films, there are micro-budget films, and then there is "Breaking Upwards." It may be hard to imagine how someone could make a feature-length romantic comedy in New York City for just under $15,000, but Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones managed to do it.

The way to go when you have no one (big) to back you up. The onus is to get a very good team, or a team that is willing to slog to deliver a good story. For nothing. Except for the satisfaction that one can tell a good story. Of course that in itself is an extremely challenging thing to do.
