If so, can you include a link or as much info as possible: budget, type of DSLR camera used, name of the DP, etc... The smaller the budget the better.

I loved "Like Crazy." When I looked it up afterwards, I found out the budget was $250,000, it was shot on a Canon 7D, and much of the dialogue was improvised. Brilliant movie. It's also on Netflix, so you should check it out. Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_Crazy Imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1758692/ The DP was John Guleserian.

Speechless!! DSLR? Really? Samuel Sebastian Primer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/ is great!! Anthony Bowes that trailer for The Call Back Queen http://www.thecallbackqueen.com/ looks amazing. Great cinematography for both features. You should be proud of your work. Tal -- I'll check out "Like Crazy" Arri/Panavision who?

In fact, Primer was shot in celluloid, Shane Carruth spent almost all the budget on it

So Primer was shot on film and produced for 7K?!?!? Was it 35mm? super 16mm? (do DP's still shoot in super 16mm? lol)
I think 35mm Of course, all the people worked pro bono
Primer was shot Super 16 with a 35mm blow up for exhibition, same process as Beasts of the Southern Wild. It's a great way to shoot on film on a budget, and you can usually get several thousand feet of film donated as long as you put the company logo on the credits. Kodak used to do that, unsure if it's still a valid offer though.
So Primer and Beasts of the Southern Wild shot on Super 16 blown up to 35mm... I wonder if this was a BUDGET decision by the producers or an AESTHETICS decision by the Director/DP? A 10K micro budget -- DSLR or Super16?

At 10k you'd probably be better serviced using a DSLR/prosumer-grade HD camera with a good rig and then using the rest of the money to invest in lighting/sound/locations/actors/crew. A production where everyone's getting paid something works better than a group of volunteers.
thanks for the info Greg!
