What is Guerilla Filmmaking

Although guerilla filmmaking avoids the
trappings of the Hollywood machine, wellmade
films can still be created. Many famous
directors have gained major media attention
through self-made films shot in the guerilla
style, including Darren Aronofsky and Spike
Lee. Many proponents of this filmmaking
style insist that the lack of
micromanagement from studios allows the
creative freedom to explore ideas that many
studios reject. An "art of the people" in some
respects, guerilla filmmaking can allow the
production of controversial, thoughtprovoking
films that might not otherwise be
made.
