Wired reports on Jonathan Caoette’s documentary, Tarnation, that premiers at Sundance this week. The total cost for the film: $218.31. The film was made from a collection of VHS home movies, photos, audio tapes, and super-8 film and edited on his boyfriend’s Apple iMac using Apple’s free editing software, iMovie.

“People told me, ‘Why don’t you throw iMovie away and graduate to Final Cut Pro?’ But iMovie is so easy,” Caouette said. “I didn’t know any editors, didn’t know anyone in the film industry. Everything that has happened with this film has been an explosion, and happened so quickly.”
