Jay Stern's $25,000 Secret(s)

At the end of his film's recent run at the Pioneer Theater, The Changeling director and First Sundays co-host Jay Stern dropped by for more than the standard Q&A grip-and-grin love-in. Rather, he drew up a mini-lecture on how to make a feature film for under $25,000. A genius with a camera uploaded it to Google Video, and now the secrets are out (and posted below for your reference).

No warranties, expressed or implied, are made by The Reeler as to the accuracy of Stern's data or its fitness for a particular use, but as far as I can tell, "ask for free stuff" sounds like as safe a bet as any to get started.
