Well, for under $10,000 you can buy everything you need (to make movies). So now we have to undo the brainwashing of the past fifty years about what a movie can be: that it must be commercial, it must go down easy, it must be structured so that it appeals to the widest possible audience. Even people that read sophisticated books expect that when they go and see a movie it won't involve any thinking. They're willing to give more to a work of literature. A movie is supposed to be something light that you go to, and you have a good time, and you don't think too much, and you laugh, or you get scared, or you're in awe of the violence, and you go home, and you forget it. And that has to be broken.
Francis Ford Coppola
