If you missed it, catch the replay of my live internet chat with writer/director Ed Burns about his film Newlyweds, just released on VOD and iTunes. It's a charming, wry romantic comedy about a couple whose in-laws invade their marriage, and it offers a fascinating, fresh model for how to make and distribute a first-rate film for a pittance. Ed talks about how he made this highly-polished movie for all of  $9,000. and answers other questions about the film and its background.

Thanks to Ed and to everyone who watched and asked questions in real time. It was as much fun as I'd hoped!

Edward Burns’ latest film, Newlyweds, is a delightfully witty, sharply observed romance that comes with its own amazing origin story. Although you wouldn’t guess it from the film’s clear, bright look, it was shot for a pittance  -- around $9,000, yes that’s thousand – in recognizable locations around Tribeca (that's the Franklin St. subway stop in the background of the photo above). Shoestring budgets don’t get stringier.
